Since the change to this year's election was announced by Gov. Phil Murphy because of the coronavirus, there have been many questions about how the process will work.
Across Morris County, 292 of 301 precincts have reported results, which is approximately 97 percent. Tuesday was the last day ballots could be received in New Jersey. Provisional ballot tabulation began Wednesday. The issues in reporting continue to be no listing of what precincts are outstanding, so whether they are clustered in such a way that the impact the outcome of a close races is unknown.
"Every vote should be safe. Every vote should be secure. Every vote should be counted," Murphy said of the process.
All results are based off of unofficial tallies provided by the Morris County Clerk's Office. Results won't be official until they are certified. Certification is expected by Nov. 20.
