Jennings, Klas Leading In Hillsdale Board Of Education Race

HILLSDALE, NJ — Christina Jennings and Nicole Klas have jumped out to a lead in the Hillsdale Board of Education race, unofficial Bergen County results show.

Jennings is up on Claudina Morrison, the third highest vote getter, by nearly 1,500 votes. Four candidates are vying for two Board of Education seats.

Justin Saxon is also running for a seat on the board, but he is unopposed for the unexpired term position.

Here's the latest unofficial total from Bergen County:

• Claudina Morrison — 1,374
• Christina Jennings — 2,855
• Nicole Klas — 1,958
• Gia C. Guzman — 992

Bergen County reports a total of 409,307 ballots cast, but, according to the unofficial results, only absentee and early precincts have been reported so far, with 72 of 73 in. The county has yet to make an estimate on overall voter turnout.

County Clerk John S. Hogan didn't provide much of an update on Twitter Wednesday morning, stating that results would continue to be posted online. The Clerk's Office did not return a request for comment Wednesday.

"Unofficial results of the 2020 General Election will be posted on the Clerk's website at http://bergencountyclerk.org as we receive the results from the Board of Elections," he wrote.

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.

Every the ballot sent through the mail had to be postmarked by Nov. 3. It must be received by your county's election boards by 8 p.m. on Nov. 10.

"Every vote should be safe. Every vote should be secure. Every vote should be counted," Murphy said of the process.
