Fortunately I can still vote in republican primaries... At which time you will promptly automatically be Republican again.

Fortunately I can still vote in republican primaries... At which time you will promptly automatically be Republican again. My point was if I find it necessary enough.

Or I will keep changing back and forth, LOL!

I don't understand why conservative Republicans would dislike Trump. But I'm a Democrat so what do I know. I am a conservative and a lifelong republican. To me, that answer is simple: conservatism is a sensibility, not just a set of policy outcomes. George Will has written brilliantly on that point. At the end of the day, conservatism is marked by its commitment to upholding institutions and resistance to being reactionary. Trumpism flies in the face of that to such an extreme degree. Thus why conservative scholars have shown the most resistance to Trump of any of the different groups within the GOP.

there's probably somebody at the clerk's office who keeps their processing job as long as people keep changing parties

Does anyone have a link that could lead me to the results for senate/president by congressional and legislative district so I could enter the data?

You should bookmark open elections https://github.com/openelections While I don't believe NJ congressional district results have been posted yet, there is always a plethora of data that is available on that repository for entry here. The repositories are searchable by state and organized by election.

Also...looks like DailyKos will have theirs up soon too. https://twitter.com/DKElections/status/1339350902113783809?s=20

I am a new member on this site, I live in Newton, New Jersey.

So I’ve never noticed it until now but Logan township is in the 1st district but on the map here it is in the 2nd

Wow. How does that happen in this day and age.

Wow. How does that happen in this day and age. I have no clue, maybe they just have an lazy editor.

https://newjerseyglobe.com/campaigns/gas-tax-set-to-decrease-by-8-3-cents/ Quite honestly shocked that New Jersey actually cut a tax instead of giving us a new tax in the name of progress.

So I’ve been working on making some maps of NJ’s legislative districts. I started today with making a map that favors democrats, and it was petty easy up until I reached the northwest. The population decline provides a serious problem in making a map that favors democrats in their hopes to turn Morris Co. blue. I assume it would be more of a task for republicans because splitting Sussex Co. (for the first time in history) may have to happen just due to the decline in population.

New map was adopted. Process was so skewed. https://www.insidernj.com/source-wallace-picks-dem-map-sacrifices-malinowski-details/

https://newjerseyglobe.com/redistricing/fuller-creating-a-fair-and-representative-congressional-map-for-new-jersey/ I wonder if she wrote this with a straight face. The new map straight up sucks. The only district that largely make sense are the 1st and 2nd. There's no way in hell they can justify Linden being in the same district as Green Township, and Cranford being in the same district as Newark. She also claims that there was a "the joining of Lake Hopatcong towns in the 11th District" which is complete and utter crap when you look at the fact that Hopatcong ISN'T EVEN IN THE 11th anymore. It's not a so called "fair map" when you almost completely ignore NJ's rapidly growing Asian American population, and create MAYBE 1 competitive district.

I'm a little surprised how many congressional candidates filed with (at least so far) fewer than 100 signatures to get on the ballot, including multiple Libertarian Party candidates. Unless the law has changed and I haven't heard, 100 valid signatures are still needed, so unless there are attempt to supplement them in the coming days I can see a number of independent and third party candidates not actually make the November ballot this year.

I've read that in the first cycle post redistricting, there's an old law that allows for the minimum number of signatures to be cut in half. Oh interesting. All candidates have submitted at least 50 signatures, so that makes sense. Do you have a source for that somewhere?

It was on David Wildstein's site, but I'll try to see if I can find a non-lane-closer source.

I've actually noticed New Jersey tends to have more independent candidates running than most states. I recall reading the 50 signature rule for redistricting cycles, I wonder if that has increased the number of third party candidates.It was on David Wildstein's site, but I'll try to see if I can find a non-lane-closer source.

So going down Internet rabbit holes like I normally do when surfing the interwebss - I discovered something interesting on Google Maps when researching where the Sayreville Councilwoman (who was shot) lived. New Jersey has named a rest stop after Jon Bon Jovi. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Jon+Bon+Jovi+Service+Area/@40.466341,-74.2914777,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x89c3cbc74cdcd675:0x1a2ebd367b820add!8m2!3d40.466341!4d-74.289289 And because I had see what it looked like, it led me to this page: https://943thepoint.com/bon-jovis-new-jersey-rest-stop-is-fantastic/ image://townsquare.media/site/393/files/2021/11/attachment-IMG_9346-1.jpg?w=980&q=75 Well done New Jersey. Seriously, this is no second rate rest area. A hologram of Jon Bon Jovi with Bon Jovi music playing and inspirational quotes from other celebrities. Maybe I'm too easily impressed. I need to go to Philadelphia for work this year. I plan to stop here as its only an hour away. LOL For comparison the La Bajada Rest Area near my house in New Mexico. The restrooms aren't heated and you need exact change (who has old-timey round money nowadays) to buy a stale bag of Funyuns. No quite the same experience. image://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/xHB2mDFSCQ5F3Axmi_aHuQ/o.jpg
