On May 22, U.S. District Court Judge Zahid Quraishi ruled that the plaintiffs in Kim v Hanlon, 3:24cv-1098, have standing to continue arguing that the old New Jersey discriminatory primary ballot access format is unconstitutional. The judge had already enjoined it in 2024, and the legislature had improved the primary ballot format in 2025. But, the new law still has flaws that the plaintiffs object to. The state had tried to get the case dismissed on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack standing, but the new ruling says the candidates still do have standing, because they have said they expect to run in future primaries. Here is the order.
