Westfield Councilwoman Neylan Causes Stir at Polling Location

The Fact of The Matter has learned that Westfield Councilwoman JoAnn Neylan was told to leave Wilson school earlier today when she tried to take pictures inside the polling location during today’s elections.  Witnesses confirmed that Neylan held her phone up and went through the typical motion that someone would go through to snap a photo.  She did this at multiple balloting locations within the gymnasium of Wilson school.
Councilwoman Neylan was accompanied by Jacqueline Neely who is 3rd Ward Councilman Mark LoGrippo’s campaign manager.
Neylan attempted to take pictures at the polling station as described by sources.
Not only is it illegal to take “ballot selfies,” it’s also illegal to take pictures inside a balloting location.
Councilwoman Neylan, the chairwoman of Westfield’s Republican Committee, has been reported to ELEC, (Election Law Enforcement Commission)
TFoTM has reached out to the Westfield Republican Committee for comment.

    Perhaps you should also remind our mayor since there are photos on the Westfield Facebook pages of her voting? I thought photographs were not allowed at polling places.

      The picture was not at a polling location and was not on Election Day.
      Thank you for your comment.

    That’s likely an early voting ballot that the mayor has her hand on. I’m suspecting that she voted early at the union county facility as did I. No cameras during the voting process.

    The mayor lives in Ward 2, district 1 — the Union County building is her polling location so she may have voted last Tuesday there. If not, that’s certainly where you vote early. Those photos on Facebook are very troubling.
