Tri-Boro voters seemed to favor a Republican choice for president during Tuesday's general election.
Of Kinnelon's 7,463 registered voters, 3,216 voted for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney while 1,626 voted for President Barack Obama. In Butler, 1,734 residents voted for Romney and 1,363 voted for Obama while in Bloomingdale, 1,704 voted for Romney and 1,569 voted for Obama.
In 2008, the majority of tri-boro voters chose a Republican candidate for president, according to the New Jersey Department of State. In Kinnelon, 3,638 voters chose John McCain and 2,105 voters chose Obama. Butler voters seemed to favor McCain by only a few hundred votes with the Republican candidate receiving 1,968 votes to Obama's 1,561 votes and in Bloomingdale, McCain received 2,077 votes while Obama received 1,732 votes. But New Jersey, overall, has favored a Democratic candidate in the past five presidential elections.

Kinnelon BOE Election
6:58 am on Tuesday, November 6, 2012
I urge the support for Keith Dama for Kinnelon BOE. If he is re elected he will be the only board member with significant experience as all the other board members are relatively new. Having worked with Keith I am confident he can continue to do a great job.
I think Mr. Davin is a great guy and would do also well, I just believe that because of the current negotiations pending with the Union and Mr Dama's experience of being in charge of negotiations he should be re seated.

I am very happy at Bloomingdale's results! I find it to be very weird that Butler and Bloomingdale leaned towards Romney, when they are clearly middle class neighborhoods. Is is like a chicken routing for Colonel Sanders!

Congratulations to Mike & Rich, two good men who unquestionably have Bloomingdale's best interest at heart. This much I definitely know. Now we can't look back. The stakes are high but the path is clear. Lead!
