Steven Shueh, son of West Windsor Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh, caused a small stir at the polls on election day. While his father is known to win local elections by a landslide, Shueh had trouble casting just one vote on Tuesday, November 7.
Shueh, who now lives in Montgomery Township, has not officially changed his address since leaving West Windsor and is still registered to vote in the township.
But when Councilman Charles Morgan, serving at the Dutch Neck School as a challenger for candidate and eventual winner Will Anklowitz, saw Shueh arrive at the polling place in the early afternoon, he greeted him and said, according to Morgan’s retelling of the story at Anklowitz’s victory party, “Hey Steve, I thought you moved out of town. Steve said he had and at that point I called poll workers and they did the rest,” said Morgan, obviously pleased about thwarting Shueh’s vote.
But even though the younger Shueh (who changed the spelling of his name to coincide with its phonetic pronunciation) was turned down on his first visit, he then called Somerset County officials, who said he could not vote in that county because his address had not been officially changed. He eventually returned to Dutch Neck School where polling officials from both sides reviewed his paperwork and unanimously allowed him to vote.
