Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Andy Kim has a lawsuit pending in federal court against the New Jersey primary ballot format, in which candidates favored by the party organization are given a far better spot on the June primary ballot than other candidates from that same party. On March 11, Kim filed a brief in response to the request from the Camden County Democratic organization to intervene in the case.

Kim points out the contradiction in the Democratic Party’s position. On the one hand the Camden County Democrats argue that they should be allowed to intervene, because the party has a favored candidate in the primary and the party wants to defend giving her the best spot on the ballot because it has an interest in boosting their favored candidate. On the other hand the party, as well as the government defendants, argue that ballot position doesn’t really effect voter behavior and thus does not matter.

Kim’s brief highlights this logical contradiction. Here is is. Kim v Hanlon, 3:24cv-1098.

Here is a news story about Geoff Duncan, Lieutenant Governor of Georgia 2018-2022, who might possibly become the No Labels presidential candidate.

But, the organization does not currently have a Presidential candidate and admits that it may not get someone suitable to sign on the dotted line.
