US Rep. Andy Kim sues over what he calls New Jersey's 'cynically manipulated' ballot system

New Jersey's primary ballot design unconstitutionally favors candidates who have the support of political party leaders and should be scrapped, U.S. Rep. Andy Kim, who's locked in a primary contest for U.S. Senate against the state's first lady Tammy Murphy, said in a federal lawsuit filed Monday. The suit seeks to upend New Jersey's unique primary ballot system in which candidates backed by political party leaders appear grouped together on the ballot, with challengers in separate columns, and takes aim at a system widely considered to be a crucial advantage in primary contests. It comes as Kim and Murphy are facing off in a primary to succeed Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez, who faces federal corruption charges and hasn't announced his plans on reelection.
