... I read the statute and it's not clear that this is the wrong result.

In the interest of the voters of NJ having the greatest scope for public participation in the electoral process, how do I go about getting my name on the ballot?

Sure, I'm not from NJ and probably don't meet a bunch of other requirements, but surely expand the scope for public participation outweighs all those petty and arbitrary requirements - mere whims of the legislature.

Wait, why not a class action suit to get everyone's name on the ballot? OK, maybe that's just not practical. Instead we'll just have a blank ballot - write-in candidates only. Maybe we can even leave off the position. Voters can make up the position and the candidate.

"Maybe we can even leave off the position. Voters can make up the position and the candidate."

I know you're trying to be sarcastic but -- sigh -- this is deadly seriously close to what actually happens here in DC.

That's why *I'm* voting for Diamond Joe Quimby for Mayor of DC this November!

Does anyone here have any idea what the voters MIGHT be saying about this fiasco in their turff? Is there any opposition against the ruling? Are people there shaking their heads in disbelieve? I sure hope at least, by chance, there are still people in NJ who vote democRAT who still have a sense of fair play! I want to believe SO HARD in my heart that there are still people in NJ who are honest and have intregity!
