U.S. District Court Judge in New Jersey Ballot Format Case Wants to Hear from Both Sides on Standing

On August 19, U.S. District Court Judge Zahid Quraishi issued an order in Kim v Hanlon, the case over New Jersey ballot format in primary elections. The judge wants each side to submit a brief on whether or not the case should be dismissed on standing grounds. The order says none of the plaintiffs have alleged that they expect to run for office in future elections.

The judge had enjoined New Jersey’s ballot format last year, but so far there has still been no resolution on whether the ballot format is unconstitutional. The legislature has already modified the old ballot format law.

The lead plaintiff, Senator Andy Kim, probably expects to run for re-election in 2030, when is term is up, so presumably his brief will say that.
