| Description | Jun Choi made history last night by becoming Edison's first Asian mayor.
Running as a reformer, the 34-year-old Korean American eked out a 272-vote victory.
"They said "The skinny kid with the funny name didn't stand a chance to win this election' . . . They were wrong," Choi, a first-time candidate for office, said during his victory speech at the Pines Manor.
But Williams Stephens, Choi's opponent, is going to challenge the results. "I don't think I'm going to go through a recount procedure because . . . I don't doubt that the computers are right. I just doubt the votes that are in the computer. And that's what we're going to challenge," said Stephens, a 59-year-old Democrat and former councilman who ran as an independent. "We're going to look at signatures. We're going to look at who voted where and we really need to go through those numbers and then we need to check with our attorneys to see how we're going to go about it." |
