Five Minor Parties Won Partisan Elections on November 8 — 10 Comments

  1. Benigno Repeki Fitial of the Covenant Party appears to been elected Governor of the Northern Marianas.

  2. The Chatham Party won five seats and control of the East Hampton town council. They were also the top five vote getters in that election. Each one had about twice the total of the top vote getter not in the Chatham Party.

  3. Hammonton First acutally beat it’s Republican and Democratic opponents overwelmingly. All Hammonton First candidates won by receiving over 50% of the total votes. This is unprecedented in a three-way race against two established parties. The Mayor’s seat and three town council seats were won. Every local office that was available this year was won by Hammonton First. Visit http://www.hammontonfirst.com to find out how we did it.

  4. Hammonton First turned out to be crooks. The mayor who is one of the town’s largest developers has appointed himself to the planning board. Hmmm, Conflict. I’m deeply sadened that I bought into this independent party. I”m an independent voter but this Hammonton First party has turned everything political even our 4th of July Celebration.

  5. Hammonton First has embarrassed our town. They are not the 3rd party alternative I had hoped for when I voted for them. Because of them the KKK is coming to Hammonton because one of the HF councilman won’t apologize for accusing the KKK of planting asbestos at our old town Hall. Now HF wants to get rid of our police chief out of vendetta. My taxes are not going to skyrocket next year because of HF messing our school budget. We shouldn’t be in this situation. Thanks a lot HF.
