At the end of June, the New Jersey legislature passed AB 4237, which moves this year’s election for Governor and state legislature from November 5 to October 16. This bill, if signed, would save taxpayers $12,000,000, because the state is holding a special U.S. Senate election on October 16 anyway.

Governor Chris Christie has neither signed the bill, nor vetoed it. He is free to postpone his decision until the Assembly reconvenes, which might be in September.
