Right! Here we are arguing the BC, when Donofrio’s case was re the NJ Sec/State sidestepping the laws! If this was clear-cut why did the Court deny it?
I have a theory: The NJ law may not actually stipulate the extent to which the SOS there must verify the qualifications. It could very well be written in such a way as to permit the very practice that most of the states -- if not all -- are using: trusting the political parties to have vetted their candidates.
