You have until 8 p.m. to go out and vote
The Morristown primary election is Tuesday and although there are quite a few candidates on the ballot, not a lot of voters came out to the polls as of 5 p.m. "It's spotty with spurts here and there. It was slow this morning and we picked up after 2 p.m., but it's traditionally light for turnout for the primaries," said poll workers for Ward 1, District 1. "Many voters didn't know what district they were in, but that's not uncommon." Here's a look at the voter turn out for the first ward as of 5:10 p.m. (all numbers are approximate): One voter came out to fulfill her civic duty and to support friends who were in the election. "Too many people died for me to have this right," said Barbara Gray. "It's a privilege to vote and I have friends …
Gov. Chris Christie has 30 days to announce an appointment, but conflicting state laws could have an election this November or November 2014.
The death of Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) leaves an open spot in the U.S. Senate, a seat Gov. Chris Christie will appoint a candidate for in the interim. However, when candidates face the voters is not yet known. The U.S. Constitution affords Christie (R) the power to appoint a replacement within the next 30 days, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Christie can appoint either a Democrat or a Republican. New Jersey Office of Legislative Services (OLS) Public Information Office Assistant Director David Inverso said two state statutes offer guidance on when appointments and special elections may occur following a vacancy. These statutes are somewhat in conflict, however. One state statute calls for an election this …

Two Democrats and two Republicans seek votes in their respective primary races Tuesday.
Sporting a sky-high approval rating that's fluctuated between the high 60s and low 70s percentile during New Jersey's recovery in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, Gov. Chris Christie has more than a fair chance at re-election in the upcoming gubernatorial race this fall. His opponents, however, are hoping that public opinion proves to be fickle. In Tuesday's primary election, two Democratic candidates are seeking approval to face off against Christie in the next election under the party banner. On the Republican side of the ballot, Christie is facing a primary challenge from an opponent who believes the governor has failed to adhere to the sense of conservatism and small government demanded by Republican ideals. For the Democrats, frontrunner…
