Unconstitutional. They cannot place additional qualifications beyond the Constitutional requirements.

The Constitution allows states to award their electoral votes any way they want. New Jersey isn’t required to hold a Presidential election at all (it might be required by the NJ constitution).

This wouldn’t be the first time that a democrat state kept a Republican off of the ballot. Lincoln wasn’t on the ballot of southern states in the election of 1860, so there is precedent for the move. Of course, in the long run, it didn’t work out for the southern states, so there’s that.

If NJ or another dem state wants to do this, let them it will show the country and the world how deranged, crooked and undemocratic the dems are. It’s not that DJT is likely to have a chance of winning those electoral votes anyway.

They can't even enforce the Constitutional ones.
