New Jersey law already has precedent for such an issue. In Tomasin v. Quinn, 376 A.2d 233 ( N.J. Superior Court, Law Division, 1977), a candidate for county sheriff withdrew, and another man wanted to take his place on the ballot. The court refused.

I don't know if NJ law permits Pallone to run for both houses. If I were him, and if the law allowed, I would want to run in both races -- I wouldn't be too confident I could actually pull off this Senate maneuver. But that would cause a problem if he won both races.
Barring that, yes, there would be the same problem twice -- I assume the Dems would not be willing to forfeit Pallone's House seat. I wonder how safe it is -- I think I've read there are a lot of Reagan Democrats in that district. So maybe they'll lose it even if they're allowed to substitute a candidate there too.

Frank Pallone is running this year for reelection to his House seat....this opens another can of worms... oh what a tangled web they weave.

I wonder how Gephardt feels about the idea of risking a House seat.
To: Howlin
Just heard Judge Napolitano on FOX. He said that the Torch has agreed that if he likes the replacement that the Gov appoints he will resign his seat before Saturday. If he does that, the Gov will appoint the new guy to fill the term and then, as an incumbant, he will automatically be on the ballot. No court decision needed.
To: Dog
I see Pallone won his last election with 68% of the vote. I wonder what his voters are thinking right now of him.
I wonder if Slick Willie chose him based on looks.
To: McGavin999
I don't think that's right. Wouldn't they have to convene a special election if T resigns? TIA
To: McGavin999
Please cite the statute that automatically puts an incumbent on the ballot without having to meet the filing deadline. Incumbent D.C. Mayor Tony Williams just had to mount a write-in campaign in the primary because the courts held he was off the ballot for failing to meet the petition signature requirements for being on the ballot.
To: Fred Mertz
Nope. According to NJ law, if Torch resigns before Saturday it can work. This is what they had up their sleeve the whole time.
To: Howlin
Pallone out...Lautenberg in.

LOL aristeides, I'm no lawyer, I'm just reporting what Judge Napolitano just said on FOX.
To: McGavin999
He will not automatically be on the ballot. I don't care if they annoint Jesus Christ himself, Torch is on the ballot. If they want to write in Lautenberg, fine.

If it's Lautenberg, that choice presumably will not get Torch's approval, and Torch will not resign.
To: McGavin999
And I haven't seen any justification in the statutes that have been posted here on FR for what Judge Napolitano says.
To: dfwgator
If it's Lautenberg (according to Napolitano) the Torch won't resign. There was apparently a whole bunch of meeting where Toricelli went back and forth about quitting the race. The dems had all the county workers who would lose their jobs call him to put the pressure on him. Apparently this was worked out right before he had the press conference. The reason he didn't quit the Senate right away was because he wanted to be certain of who his replacement was going to be. He HATES Llautenberg.
