The New Jersey lawsuit filed by several minor parties on October 13, 2006 has moved slowly. The parties have given the state an extension until the first week in February 2007 to answer their complaint. The lawsuit complains about these problems: (1) the state has not fully implemented the 2001 decision on letting voters register into unqualified parties; (2) qualified parties, which means only the Democratic and Republican Parties, can receive higher contributions than other parties; (3) qualified parties can make unlimited donations to their nominees, while other parties can’t; (4) qualified parties are exempt from lobbying fees, whereas other parties aren’t; (5) members of qualified parties can circulate petitions to get themselves on the primary ballot whether they live in that district or not, but members of unqualified parties cannot circulate a petition outside their home district (if the petition is for district office). The case is called Green Party of N.J. et al v State, no. MER-C-125-06.
