[Frumious Bandersnatch]

From a legal perspective, you are right of course. From a PR perspective it's still got to be a nightmare scenario for the Dems. It must be painful for them to watch the implosion of their own party. But then maybe not, for I doubt that they realize that it is through their own idiocy that they are killing themselves.

I would agree w/ you but this is NJ. If this were a "Red" state, or even a competitive "blue" one like Wisconsin or Iowa their strategy would be doomed to failure even if they got a new Dem on the ballot.

But here your are in a heavy Dem state where most don't care how the Dem got on the ballot, they just want to vote for one to get in.

I don't know what the national reprecussions will be.
