Christie Holds Keys to Lautenberg Succession #NJSEN There’s significant confusion over the state’s election law statute: Either a special election would be held this fall concurrent with the regularly scheduled state elections, or in November 2014, when Lautenberg’s seat was up anyway.

Will Christie appoint a caretaker or someone who would seek the seat permanently? Will he appoint a Republican or a Democrat? Would he schedule a special election in which a Democrat will be heavily favored on the same day he faces re-election, especially if a Republican would otherwise get to hold the seat for an extra year?
