And as the <A HREF="http://www.nj.gov/state/elections/absentee_doe.html" REL="nofollow">New Jersey Division of Elections</A> web page on absentee voting says, "<I>Now there is no excuse not to vote!</I>" <BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.longdistancevoter.org/new_jersey" REL="nofollow">Here</A> is a bit more background on the absentee regulations in New Jersey.<BR/><BR/>Really, all I think I've done here is open up a can of worms. What happened in 2008 that trigger the addition of this provision in the law?

Is there no absentee voting in primary elections?

I suppose there was a problem last year with Fat Tuesday coinciding with Super Tuesday, but it isn't like that occurs on the first Tuesday in February regularly. Plus, I wasn't aware of any big Mardi Gras celebrations in New Jersey. Louisiana and southern Alabama (It was an issue in Mobile in the lead up to February 5 last year.) maybe. But New Jersey?<BR/><BR/>It is just strange. And it is also about step 39 in this scheme I've hatched. The first step may be the most difficult: beating Corzine. None of it matters if New Jersey Republicans can't accomplish that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719252574677567989.post-61131524226680937442009-01-22T00:30:00.000-05:002009-01-22T00:30:00.000-05:00I feel like taking this option would open New Jers...I feel like taking this option would open New Jersey for lawsuits. Finding some obscure religious excuse for moving the primary would probably result in moving it to some date when there's some other obscure religious problem. And I feel like that gives the potential for real trouble...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14690577323454357276noreply@blogger.com
