Democratic (Jon Corzine) 962,130
independent (Chris Daggett) 120,821
Libertarian (Ken Kaplan) 4,246

Burlington County reported 108 write-ins for Governor. Generally, New Jersey counties don’t bother to mention how many write-in votes were received, much less reveal who received those write-ins. The Burlington County report is unusual. The only known write-in candidate who campaigned was Angela Lariscy, the Socialist Workers Party candidate.

Monmouth County hasn’t reported any tentative totals yet, so when its vote is available, all these totals will be larger.
