The Harvey Cedars post-election drama came to an end last Wednesday, Nov. 29, when Ocean County Superior Court Judge Valter H. Must denied Harvey Cedars Mayor Jonathan Oldham’s request for a recount in the Nov. 7 election, in which he came in fourth for three borough commission seats.

When the votes were certified by the county two weeks ago, Deputy Mayor John Imperiale received 198 votes and Commissioner Paul Rice collected 188. Newcomer Joe Gieger came in third with 171 votes.
