UNFORTUNATELY nothing. New jersey would be better off if its voters though more like middle America than like the Rotten Apple.

Eight States Favoring Lonegan, vs. only PA favoring Christie (but with only 40% of the total vote!) and MD favoring Merkt. NJ favoring Lonegan with 62% of the poll vote; NY with 63% (despite Giuliani), other 6 states (AZ, IL, GA, NC, SC, and VA) each give Steve 100% of their votes!

I asked the question because of the above.
Why does it matter what those other states think?
Why are their opinions included?

Unfortunately, a large portion of our population originated (up to a few generations back) in the "Rotten Apple" and environs. They brought their misguided voting habits with them...
