I just filed a lawsuit to extend voting hours by one hour to 9:00 p.m. in Burlington County, and to make paper ballots available to voters in that county. We will continue to fight to ensure that all voters can participate in this election.

There’s a ‘these are protected by Amendment Number Two’ joke in there somewhere … in case you were thinking you might actually miss the Correspondents Club Show if it’s gone.

Everyone who has reached out with supportive words today - and thank you for that, it’s much appreciated - should keep Patrick in mind for any openings. He’s top-notch, as a person and a professional.

NJ has certified its 2022 election results. Turnout was 41.1% of registered voters, compared with 55.2% in the 2018 midterm. Though for some reason, the Hudson ballots cast are listed as 11,460 below what the county reported.

The Warren County clerk's office has a suggested election day/night playlist ... I should probably run these by Big Joe Henry as well, unless you've got additional song ideas

Combined, that comes to over 725,000 general election votes in NJ already. Usually CD1 is the clear leader in early voting due to the Dems' robust vote-by-mail program, but early in-person voting has changed some of the pattern - with nearly as many in CD7.
