Despite sluggish judge, Oakland do-over set for March 10

A do-over election for a Oakland Borough Council seat that ended in a tie last November has been scheduled for Tuesday, March 10, with Republican incumbent Kevin Slasinski facing off against independent Matthew Dumpert.

A legal contest fraught with delays had one last waiting period when it took embattled Superior Court Judge Kelly Conlon five days to sign a consent order.

Local officials moved more quickly than Conlon, designing and printing vote-by-mail ballots and mailing them yesterday. A ballot drawing was held last week.

Conlon rejected a ballot cast by a 30-year-old woman who lives in Chicago with her husband but votes out of her parents’ home in Oakland.
