Last year, minor parties in New Jersey filed a lawsuit in state court on a variety of issues (all concerned with laws that discriminate against minor parties and in favor of major parties). In the last few weeks, attorneys on both sides have met to decide whether any of the issues can be settled. Tentatively, representatives of the Attorney General’s office are suggesting that these issues can be settled: (1) an end to the law that makes it illegal for someone to circulate a candidate petition if the circulator lives outside the district; (2) inclusion of the Conservative Party, as one of the unqualified parties that have the right to have voters register into it; (3) to eliminate wording on petitions that the signers intend to vote for the candidates listed on the petition.
