"We will go to court to give them that choice. Earth to Democrats! They did have the choice, and they weren’t choosing you. You chose to remove that selection from the voters yourselves. The Democratic party took away the voters choice..."

Not technically. Not legally. You see, voters still have a choice. In fact, they have an unlimited choice to vote for anyone from any party.

It's called the Write-In vote. It's legal. It's already on the New Jersey ballots that have been printed and mailed, and it is by WRITE IN vote that current Senator Strom Thurmond won one of his early elections.

Ergo, no "choice" has been denied to anyone.

Heya Southack! You are correct. But it is the argument they are using in their brief to the Court. My post was intended to show how absurd thier argument is.

Sometime during the first hour or two of his speech yesterday, Torricelli mentioned how he won his first office as a write-in candidate...He was traveling around in Europe on election day but his mother and sister wrote his name in for some local office, and he won 2 votes to zero.
