"New Jersey voters would be deprived of the opportunity to make a choice between the two major political parties, an opportunity which is paramount under our election laws," says the lawsuit. "The public interest, and our two-party system, will be best served by permitting (the Democratic Party) to fill the vacancy that has been created." They seem to have no problem denying Dem voters the chance to actually pick their dem candidate. Last I heard the dims picked the Torch. The party knew he was crooked, the Senate knew he was crooked and the people knew he was crooked.
Now they have to live with their choices.
No do-overs.
Not so. The party can never deny an incumbent to run for his seat. They can and do however, support primary challenges, which is the right way to do things.
