Barbagallo, Francin Leading In Wyckoff Board Of Education Race

WYCKOFF, NJ — The latest vote count from Bergen County shows Anthony Francin and Frank Barbagallo leading in the race for two seats on the Wyckoff Board of Education.

Still unofficial, the results show Barbagallo with a steady lead while just over 100 votes separate Traficant and Francin for the second of three spots.

Here's the unofficial count so far:

• Anthony R. Francin — 3,813
• Frank Barbagallo — 4,158
• Brett Traficant — 3,695

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.

"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.
