The Complaint filed last week by independent New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Chris Daggett, and Libertarian Party gubernatorial candidate Kenneth Kaplan, is now available here. It is Olson v Corzine, and challenges the format of New Jersey ballots, which always place the Democratic and Republican nominees in the best spots on the November ballots. The complaint is very strong on listing social science research that shows that ballot format does make a difference in voting behavior.
In the age of voting machines, you would think that randomizing candidate order wouldn’t be a hard thing to do.
