Dispute Heating Up Over Mail In Ballots Processing

The Atlantic County Democratic Committee has warned the mailing house used by the county via letter that mail-in ballots for the Nov. 7 general election must go out by the state deadline of Sept. 23, or the committee may sue, according to the Press of Atlantic City. In response, county Deputy Counsel Anthony Pagano sent a cease-and-desist letter Tuesday to the Democrats, saying it was inappropriate and unacceptable to interfere with a county contractor.
