DEMAREST — Republican Ray Cywinski filed for a recount of the Nov. 3 election, where he lost his bid for a council seat by a slim margin of 13 votes.
He will appear in court in Hackensack Nov. 30 where he will learn when the actual recount will take place.
Cywinski said he filed for a recount “mostly because of the people asking me to. … It’s close — not one vote or two votes — but relatively close enough to take a look.”
According to official results from the Bergen County Clerk’s office, Tom Connolly received 922 votes, Brian Bernstein got 850 and Cywinski gained 837. The totals include ballots cast Election Day, absentee ballots and provisional ballots.
Democrats Connolly and Bernstein each were elected for their fourth terms. Cywinski was previously on the council but failed to retain his seat in 2008.
