New Jersey Files Brief in Trump Ballot Access Case

On October 20, the New Jersey secretary of State filed this brief in Bellocchio v Way, Mercer Co. Superior Court Mer-L-001762-23. This is the lawsuit filed to keep former President Donald Trump off the New Jersey Republican presidential primary. The Secretary argues that the case is not ripe, because petitions are not due until April 1, 2024. No primary petitions have been filed yet for Donald Trump.
