At-Large Orange council candidate Ed Marable made it under the deadline last Friday to file for a recount in an election he lost to Weldon Montague III by 17 votes.

A judge will decide on June 10th whether his request is appropriate and if the recount will proceed.

A former councilman looking to get back on the governing body, Marable made his request for a recount specifically of Orange’s South Ward, which he believes was disproportionately impacted by VBM troubles.
