VBM ballots mailed tomorrow, but judge will decide local ballot challenge on April 30

A challenge to nominating petitions in the Democratic primary for the Paulsboro Borough Council is set to be heard in court on April 30, 12 days after ballots are mailed and likely after votes are already cast.

Councilman Tahje Thomas is seeking re-election on a slate with Michelle Baylor that has the endorsement of the Gloucester County Democratic organization. Another incumbent councilman, Eric Singleton, is running on his own without a slogan.

Thomas alleges Singleton fell short of the number of signatures needed to get on the ballot because five voters signed both petitions and ought to be invalidated.

But Municipal Clerk Elsie Tedeski had already certified the candidates and County Clerk James Hogan, who was not named in the lawsuit, has already prepared the ballots.
