You lose counselor. Motion denied. I am not going to rewrite the statute. Election officials will just have to work there asses off, including weekends. And I see no reason why if we are going to reprint the ballots, we can't get it right for that other election for the next six year term. Bang.

You could have the election officials work their boney butts to death, but that won't obviate the basic Constitutional requirements, federal statutes and state statutes.

Regardless, a special election commensurate with a general election is absurd. A special election refers to any election that occurs at a time not coincident with a general election. What you ask for is adding another ballot to a general election, and that's not possible under any legal theory that I am aware of in light of NJ statutes and the 17th amendment. The SCONJ cannot sua sponte create an entire election process as that would usurp the NJ legislative power provided by the U.S. Constitution.
