Here are the latest results of today's New Jersey legislative elections. The results, reported by the Associated Press, are unofficial and will be updated throughout the night. (Refresh your page to see the most current numbers.)

Republicans went into the night with a 48-32 disadvantage in the Assembly and will come out with a likely 51-29 deficit. While Governor Krispy Kreme lumbers around the country on a foolish quest to capture 2% of the primary vote, Rome continues to burn. Although, he is so disliked here by all, the losses may have been greater if he campaigned. Truly, one of Christie's biggest failures was his inability to expand Republican seats in the Assembly and Senate. He essentially turned over redistricting to a Rutgers Poli Sci professor. With the near certain landslide election of a Democratic governor in 2017, these numbers and those in the State Senate should get even worse.

I am ashamed to be from New Jersey
It was the last US State I lived in before moving overseas

[Blue Jays]

New Jersey got even bluer than before? Yikes.

New Jersey is a carbon copy of New York. I live in PA and we’re going in that direction. Lots of New Yorkers live here and commute. They bring the liberal plague with them.

So exactly why would anyone of sound mind in this country vote for the Governor of NJ to be President?

Anyone?

[BBell]

Oh great. Does this mean there will be another exodus to the South?

“So exactly why would anyone of sound mind in this country vote for the Governor of NJ to be President?”

I surely wouldn’t. But I do think Christie is the best that NJ is going to get. Too many hopeless libs to elect a real conservative there any time soon.

[skinny old man]

You are right. N.J. is about as conservative as it could ever be.

[Impy]

:(

But the real awful news of the night is the PA Supreme Court, look for those c*ck****ers to try to rule by judicial fiat on any issue of their choosing.

the pa gop and local tea party did nothing. labor unions went for broke to buy fairness.

[TBP]

The results of RINO-ism.

I am from PA but now live in NJ. What you said is 100% true. The bluer NJ gets, the more people leave. We lost population in the 2010 census and have had more then 75 billion of private wealth flee the state since the turn of the century. I expect the trend to accelerate in the upcoming years.

Unfortunately the people that have left appear to not to have learned their lesson. They go to other states and take their liberal voting habits with them. They are now in the process of turning PA, DE and FL blue. They have already succeeded in making them purple.

Christie isn’t the problem (he is a tax-cutting pro-life Republican who won twice here); the problem (which he is desperately trying to address) is the flight of taxpaying Americans from the state. NJ isn’t just “bluer” because more people are becoming liberals; it is because the cream of the crop has been fleeing for years. Young American workers have no future here; we’ve been bleeding population for years.

NJ is like Massachusetts in that 10% of the population works for local or state government (this includes everyone from teachers to state troopers) and the remaining 90% is related to them by marriage or blood. Got keep the bennies coming!

Red is the color of the Communist left. Don’t use the media newspeak colors.

[Blue Jays]

I have often wondered why RED denotes Republicans and BLUE denotes Democrats.
It would seem far more intuitive to most people to have it the other way around.

[dfwgator]

Media didn’t want to implicate the Democrats as Communists by using Red for them.

[fieldmarshaldj]

No surprise that it was changed by the media deliberately on Election Night 2000. That the GOP allowed them to get away with it and their willful mislabeling is yet another example of their failure to fight the psychological war. I, for one, have never forgotten and try to raise awareness of folks not to use the media newspeak colors. Red is the historical and international color associated with totalitarian leftist regimes (Soviet Union, Red China, Nazi Germany), blue is the color of Conservatism. The media doesn’t want that RED association with Democrats, the ultra-left party.
