On August 5, the New Jersey gubernatorial nominee, Stephen Zielinski, withdrew from the race for health reasons. The party then substituted Lily Benavides as its new nominee.
Under a unique New Jersey law, an unqualified party can substitute, but it must do an entirely new ballot access petition. So the party is now re-petitioning. The replacement petition is due August 21. See this story. No other state has such a law. In every other state, either an unqualified party can replace the candidate listed on the petition, or it can’t, but there is no provision in any other state for a new petition.
New Jersey qualified parties can replace withdrawn nominees without any burdensome procedure.
Which State has the most stone age retarded ballot access laws ???
NEW JERKS ???
Little wonder the States are de facto dead vs the USA tyrant regime
Yet another example of how the two ruling parties have rigged the system against opposition parties.
