In Re Petition of Keogh-Dwyer

The opinion of the court was delivered

This case involves the November 1963 election for the office of member of the Yernon Township Committee. The trial court in an unreported opinion held the election a tie, Walter C. Keogh-Dwyer and Everett C. Martin each receiving 372 votes, and set the election aside. On appeal, the Appellate Division, one judge dissenting, held that Martin had been duly elected after determining that he had received 371 votes and Keogh-Dwyer 370 votes. In re Keogh-Dwyer, 85 N. J. Super. 188 (App. Div. 1964). Keogh-Dwyer appealed to this Court as of right. R. R. 1:2-1(b).
