Bill Hallenbeck (who, I learned tonight, is a big fan of Elvis Costello) won the absentee and affidavit ballots in District 5-1 by a 20-to-5 margin, pushing his lead to roughly 35, meaning the Hudson election is effectively over, with only 29 ballots left to count in 5-2. ... Congratulations to Hudson’s new Mayor.
UPDATE: The 5-2 count was 11 Haddad, 15 Hallenbeck. After the Haddad campaign released its challenges to some 20 ballots, the final margin of victory was 50.
