Judge says Norcross faction gets 71 of 74 county committee seats in Cherry Hill
A Superior Court Judge today sided with the George Norcross-allied Camden County Democratic Committee and ordered 71 organization-backed candidates for county committee seats in Cherry Hill to join three progressives who won the June 10 primary.
Cherry Hill elects its county committee members at large in a winner-take-all contest, where a single vote is cast for the entire slate. A South Jersey Progressive Democrats slate of three – Susan Druckenbrod, Rena Margulis, and Dave Stahl – received 5,547 votes; the 74-member party-endorsed slate won 3,350.
“This looks like a tie to me. There were two ties. There was a tie for first or a tie for second and third, and it was a tie for fourth through seventy-fourth,” said Judge Michael Kassel. “It’s a perfect fit with (the statute), but it’s close enough.”
Kassel explained that he viewed his ruling as fair and equitable.
