New Jersey legislative elections megathread

[Dead Parrot]

What's the most recent update on LD-02? NJ.com appears to have stalled.

No updates since last night: all of the E-Day vote in, no VBMs or provisionals counted.

The Atlantic County Clerk still hasn't updated, but the NJ Globe is reporting that VBMs have put the Dems back ahead in LD-2, and that will probably hold: newjerseyglobe.com/legislature/democrats-cling-to-small-lead-in-2nd-district-assembly-race/

Somerset County is blue almost single-handedly because of Franklin Township. Without it Obama would’ve lost it twice (although Hillary still would’ve narrowly carried it). Morris lacks a community that could make it blue the same way.

Morristown, Morris Township, Dover, Parsippany-Troy Hills, Madison.

None of those towns comprise as much of Morris's population as Franklin does Somerset's. Franklin accounts for nearly 20% of all the votes cast in the county most years. They're also nowhere near as blue.

So did the Republicans win in AD2 or not?

I can't link to it, but David Wildstein just tweeted that the Dems have held LD-2.
