What are the constitutional issues involved? This concerns whether a name can be substituted under the ballot rules of a state.

Yes but the US Constitution speaks to the issues of electing Senators, term of office, etc.

If the NJSC abides by the written law, which is very clear, then you are correct. In that case it is just a state deciding to follow it's own laws. Otherwise, it is an illegal attempt to change the outcome of an election that has national impact. It is not just a state issue when the openly stated purpose of all of this is to keep the democrat majority in the Senate.

Would you see the national impact if NJ simply passed a law requiring all it's US senators to be democrats?
