As already reported, on Thursday evening, March 28, a U.S. District Court ordered office-group ballots for the June 4 primaries.  On March 30, a Saturday, the judge, in response to a question from the Republican Party, clarified that his March 28 order only applies to the Democratic primary, not the Republican primary.

On March 30, fifteen county clerks asked the judge for a stay.  But on March 30 Burlington County wrote to say it does not request a stay.  On Sunday, March 31, the Hudson County Clerk said his office does not seek a stay either.  It is quite unusual for different county governments to disagree with each other in a lawsuit in which they had all been sued.
