Judge Denies Rutherford in West Orange

A judge this afternoon ruled that West Orange Councilman Bill Rutherford’s cannot run on the ballot this year because he lacks the requisite petition signatures.

Some context, from Patch:

Last week, the clerk’s office provided Patch with a list of six candidates who will be appearing on the ballot for the 2024 nonpartisan municipal election in West Orange on Nov. 5. The list was absent one high-profile name: Bill Rutherford.

Rutherford – one of three council members whose seats will expire this year – said the clerk’s office denied his placement on the ballot. He provided Patch with an update about the situation earlier this week.
