A judge makes another big decision in fight over N.J.’s controversial primary ballot system
A federal judge on Monday denied a request to pause his high-profile decision to eliminate New Jersey’s controversial “county line” ballot design in this year’s Democratic primary as it faces an appeal.
U.S. District Court Judge Zahid Quraishi on Friday had granted an injunction against the system — the only of its kind in the county — as part of a lawsuit U.S. Rep. Andy Kim filed claiming the setup was unconstitutional as he ran for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate.
