How the end of the county line could change NJ politics

WNYC News | Apr 3, 2024

The way New Jersey designs its election ballots is on the ropes. A federal judge in New Jersey granted Senate candidate Andy Kim an injunction last week, stopping the use of the state’s “county line” ballot design for the June Democratic primary.

That's a pretty good sign the judge could find the county line unconstitutional — he’s also eventually going to consider a previously filed lawsuit that challenges the ballot design. WNYC’s Nancy Solomon and Michael Hill discusses how the end of the county line could change New Jersey politics.
