Artie Lange loses Hoboken, NJ mayoral campaign to Dawn Zimmer


Howard Stern Show
co-host Artie Lange has lost his unintentional mayoral bid to lead the town of Hoboken, New Jersey.  Acting Mayor of Hoboken Dawn Zimmer was re-elected to her position in a landslide victory.
 
Turnout for Tuesday's election was low.  Just over 12,000 cast their ballots in a city of nearly 40,000.   NJ.com has reported that Artie Lange may have received just a single vote in Tuesday's election.
 
Dawn Zimmer earned a commanding 42.92% of the vote (97% of precincts reporting) in Tuesday's election.  Artie Lange was not listed as an official candidate on the ballot, but with only 22 write-in votes being cast overall, it doesn't appear that the pancake-loving comedian made much of an impact.  Today's election for the Hoboken Mayor resulted from the arrest of previous Hoboken Mayor Peter Cammarano for his involvement in an international money-laundering scheme in June, just three weeks after he took office.
 
E-mails to Artie Lange for Mayor campaign manager Bob Abouey were not immediately returned.
