I doubt the NJ Legislature could pass an ex post facto law anyway. So it wouldn't help us this time.

They did for the Schundler primary election. They passed a law retroactivley moving the primary election back so that the 51 day deadline would not be violated. This NJ court upheld the legislation.

Bwahahhahahaaa! The court ignored their very own precedent of honoring the 51 day limit.

Primaries are not federally mandated in the way that general elections are. Its fairly easy to change laws even during the primary cycle. I believe GA had to push back their primary date to allow for a 45 day law in order to meet the absentee ballot deadline. Primary laws and rules are fairly easy to adjust to whereas general elections must be accomplished in order to meet the constitutional Tuesday in November requirement.
