Montclair proved itself once again to be a Democratic bastion on Tuesday. Voters leaned overwhelmingly to the left in the 2012 presidential election as nearly 60 percent of the town’s approximate 29,400 registered voters made it to the polls on Tuesday despite lingering power outages caused by Hurricane Sandy.

In a complicated decision, the justices upheld most of the health care reform legislation popularly known as Obamacare.
Do you agree with the U.S. Supreme Court's decision Thursday upholding most of President Obama's signature health care reform legislation? By a 5-4 vote, the justices upheld most of the act, although the opinion is a complicated one.
