Election results on the local, county and state levels might not be certified until late November as a result.
Camden County election officials have yet to count votes from at least one Gloucester Township district to its unofficial tally due to an issue with a voting machine. District 13 votes have been put on hold at the county level after a machine sent to the Stetser-Lamartine American Legion Post No. 281 building, in Chews Landing, was put aside Tuesday morning. Poll workers were alerted that the machine had a low battery before polls opened, county officials said, and it was replaced with another machine within an hour. It could be up to two weeks before the county adds District 13 votes to those from the township's 39 other districts to arrive at an official tally. Votes from three more districts in Camden County—one each in Haddonfield, …

The township's business administrator says the grant was used to keep taxes down.
A $160,000 "technology grant" Comcast Cable awarded the township in 2008 while negotiating its franchise renewal agreement here was used to help reduce the tax levy. It's as simple as that, according to Business Administrator Tom Cardis. Former mayor Cindy Rau-Hatton's administration put forward a Fiscal Year 2009 budget that inserted Comcast's $160,000 into the budget as general revenue, according to Cardis, who held the same position under Republican Rau-Hatton as he does now under Democratic Mayor David Mayer. The money was used "to offset the amount to be raised by taxes. It wasn't set aside for any programs, televising Council meetings or anything like that," he said on Wednesday. Comcast did not attach specific conditions to how the …
