UPDATE: Tight Finish in Princeton Democratic Primary

Princeton, NJ -- The polls have closed and it was a photo finish in Princeton Tuesday night.

Councilwoman Jenny Crumiller and candidate Tim Quinn were the top two vote-getters in Tuesday night's Democratic Primary, according to unofficial results posted on the Mercer County Board of Elections website.

However, just 44 votes separated Quinn from third-place finisher Leticia Fraga, with absentee ballots still to be counted.

There were 73 provisional ballots still to be counted as of Wednesday morning, according to the Mercer County Superintendent of Elections office.

Those ballots will be counted by the commissioners with the Mercer County Board of Elections, consisting of two Democrats and two Republicans, on Friday morning. Election results will be certified by Monday.

Crumiller won 31.42 percent of the vote in the race for the party's nominations for two open council seats in November's elections. Quinn won 26.33 percent of the vote, and Fraga won 25.8 percent. Anne Neumann was fourth with 16.37 percent of the vote.

Numbers-wise, Crumiller topped voting with 2,587 votes. Quinn collected 2,168 votes, followed by Fraga with 2,124 votes. Neumann had 1,348. A total of 8,323 people voted in the elections.

No Republicans filed petitions to run for council.

Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert ran unopposed, collecting 4,007 votes. Peter Marks collected 476 votes in the Republican Primary.

U.S. Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-12) easily turned back a challenge from former Franklin Township Mayor Alex Kucsma in the 12th Congressional District Democratic Primary. Watson Coleman won the nomination with 96 percent of the vote, and now turns her focus to Steven Uccio, who ran for the Republican nomination unopposed.

With 94 percent of precincts reporting, Mercer County Freeholder Andrew Koontz and candidate Anthony Verelli won the Democratic Party's nominations for two open seats in November's general elections.

They defeated Alex Rodriguez and George Dusichka. Koontz won 35.21 percent of the vote, and Verelli won 34.25 percent of the vote.

They will face Republicans Andrew Curcio and Jason DeFrancesco, who ran unopposed.
