Lari contests election results Nov. 1992
Recount is only first step
Councilman Michael Lari challenged the results of the first
ward election in which he lost to Michael Grecco by 92 votes, saying there have
been improprieties.
Backed by the Secaucus Independent Alliance, Lari has hired
Attorney Joseph R. Marinello to "Pursue every legal option
available."
In a press release issued on Tuesday, Lari said 87 new
registrations at Meadow View County Hospital and more than 30 geriatric
absentee ballots may have influenced the outcome of the election.
"We are looking at people in a drug rehab who originate
from Essex County and other places voting in our local elections," Lari
said. "The potential vote in this election was in excess of 100
people."
Lari's letter said the erection of the Geriatric building
with 360 new beds could expand 1st ward voting by 500.
"A recount is only step one," Lari said, noting
there could be other irregularities as well.
