I just Voted by Mail in the NJ Primary. And for the first time in 25 years, the ballot made sense. I have dyslexia, and the "line system" was visually confusing for me. So, thank you for ditching the "line system," while unconstitutional is a horror for dyslexics.
Thank you, @AndyKimNJ, for helping bring this first win to the finish line, and for your commitment to continue the work and truly restore New Jersey's democracy. It starts from home.

There is still more we need to do to secure permanent fixes, and all of us are committed to following this through. But I wanted to take a moment to thank these three incredible lawyers. All of NJ thanks you. END
There were so many variables to consider. But in the end, it came down to a leap of faith of whether I trusted Yael, Brett, and Flavio. I did, and said, “ok, let’s do this.” 5 months later Jersey politics has changed fundamentally in ways that many never would have imagined. 5/6
I explained to them how this would set off a massive firestorm. In some ways I wanted to make sure they were ready for it. But I realized when I talked that the three of them understood exactly what they were doing as they’ve been fighting this fight for years. 3/6
I first met @YaelBromberg, @bmpugach and Flavio Komuves just 5 months ago. While we talked, the gravity of what we were considering hit me. I asked them point blank, what’s our chance of winning a lawsuit against the political machine? Is this a Hail Mary or do we have a shot?🧵

Excellent piece by Brendan Gill, Essex county commissioner Our democracy cannot survive the disenfranchisement that results from voters lacking confidence or trust in our elections. nj.com/opinion/2024/0…

@MaplewoodNJDems Maplewood Dem Municipal Committee members @Fredprofeta and @RebeccaEScheer led the successful effort to eliminate the county line in Maplewood races. That is what real democracy looks like!
Great News. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the preliminary injunction that is blocking the NJ county clerks from using the the county line to manipulate the primary votes. The Court explained how the line violates the First Amendment and the Elections Clause.
The unanimous panel didn't hold back when it set forth how the county line system was undemocratic and designed to manipulate the results of primaries in party boss's favor in plain English.
The whole point of the county line was for party elites to put their thumbs on the scale for their preferred candidates, as you could read in the following passage explaining how the system violates the Constitution's Elections Clause:
The Third Circuit UNANIMOUSLY affirms the District Court's order granting the preliminary injunction: "its findings of fact are substantiated, its conclusions of law are sound, and its ultimate decision granting the injunction presents no abuse of discretion." #LineABOLISHED
The Third Circuit UNANIMOUSLY affirms the District Court's order granting the preliminary injunction: "its findings of fact are substantiated, its conclusions of law are sound, and its ultimate decision granting the injunction presents no abuse of discretion." #LineABOLISHED
Court finds that there is a "very substantial likelihood" that the longer-term case against the line will succeed on the merits. That matches Judge Quraishi's findings.
Office-block Dem ballots live! The Third Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed the District Court's ruling striking down the county line in this year's Democratic primary:
NJ lawmakers have not given up the fight to limit the public’s access to PUBLIC government records. 🚨 There is no democracy without government transparency. 🚨 Tell NJ lawmakers: NO rollbacks on OPRA ⬇️ action.aclu.org/send-message/n…
If you keep records with pen and paper, OPRA requests may be time consuming. But: it's 2024 folks. Make public records available online and voila! Save time and money without needing to gut OPRA! jerseyvindicator.org/2024/04/13/we-…
"When your entire business model is at stake-for the county parties-of course you will hire a high-profile D.C. attorney to fight your battle for you." Our State Director @heytonimichelle weighs in on state party bosses' fight to keep the county line. #AbolishtheLine

New Jersey residence do not want the legislature to do this. We want to expand and protect the Public’s right to know what their government is doing.

They took on New Jersey's party bosses — and they're winning. "This isn’t just a David versus Goliath story. To paraphrase Albert Finney in 'Erin Brockovich,' this is a story about David versus Goliath’s 'whole f***ing family.'" newjerseymonitor.com/2024/04/29/the… via @terrencemcd
Given that NJ has already lost the Office of the Public Advocate (last enshrined under Gov Corzine) & officials recently hollowed out ELEC, the role & responsibilities of the Comptroller are more vital. We cannot accept further erosion of positions that enable accountability.
First they lobby to gut OPRA. Now they want the Comptroller investigated Local governments are on an offensive against transparency and accountability! The Leg should drop the OPRA bill & say NO to this! Thank you @NJComptroller for being our watchdog.

STREAMING NOW. Sen. @tonybucco on the virtues of "the line," and how the #OPRA reform process is definitely gonna be transparent. Plus, the panel on everything else this week. @NancySolomon2 @spsullivan @colleenodea. @MyNJPBS @NJSpotlightNews @DavidCruzNJ youtube.com/watch?v=84nMDk…
@ggcnj @wildstein In Camden County, some people even received their ballots before the mailing deadline, so ballots were able to be sent out early. No chaos at all! And maybe they got the ballots printed early because it was EASIER to prepare them, wouldn’t ya think?
Making NJ a real democracy -- what needs to happen next: nj.com/opinion/2024/0… To preempt a decision in Conforti, NJ's legislative leadership may try to adopt a version of an office block ballot that would enable the political machines to continue controlling who gets elected
Yes, we do! Thank you to all of the lawyers and advocates who fought for this, and won. villagegreennj.com/election/maple…
@MaplewoodNJDems Maplewood Dem Municipal Committee members @Fredprofeta and @RebeccaEScheer led the successful effort to eliminate the county line in Maplewood races. That is what real democracy looks like!
The whole point of the county line was for party elites to put their thumbs on the scale for their preferred candidates, as you could read in the following passage explaining how the system violates the Constitution's Elections Clause:
The unanimous panel didn't hold back when it set forth how the county line system was undemocratic and designed to manipulate the results of primaries in party boss's favor in plain English.
Great News. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the preliminary injunction that is blocking the NJ county clerks from using the the county line to manipulate the primary votes. The Court explained how the line violates the First Amendment and the Elections Clause.
Thank you to all of those who've spent YEARS working for today's result. #abolishtheline These and so many more: @fairballotnj @JerseyDemocrats @ggcnj @Action2getherNJ @NJWFP @YaelBromberg @bmpugach Flavio Komuves @ACLUNJ @LWVNJ @LizzieKFoley @NJCitizenAction @NJCollegeDems
So I sincerely hope that in addition to benefiting from her work on the line, @AndyKimNJ will be willing to work with her on other issues as well. @Patricia4NJ has been right about the county line for a long time, and she's right about a lot of other things too. 4/7
Despite what some may say (ahem, @GovMurphy), good primaries make for better candidates. As a former. board member of @ggcnj, @Patrica4NJ is one of the OGs in the line fight. If @AndyKimNJ succeeded here, it's because Patricia did lots of the groundwork. Sometimes literally 3/7
