Dem. lawyer repeated this judges own previous words back to her on the importance of the voters...Eddie Haskell crossed with Clinton.

"you are asking us to allow for flexibility whenever it would be feasible...how would you ..protect the absentee voters..." Judges asking the Dem. to address specifics....looking for a way to grant the Dems wishes, imho.

51 day deadline was changed to get more in line with Federal rules, having to do with Absentee ballots and enough time to send and return

looking for a way to grant the Dems wishes, imho.

I have that feeling, too. Talking how to address the 1600 absentee ballots that have already been returned. Judge wonders if a color coded scheme could be implemented to distinguish from the previous ballot.

Back to NJ. How could the Republicans be prepared for this? We were blindsided. This Dem. lawyer has this act down cold.
