2017: NJ Gubernatorial/legislative elections

[136or142]

I wonder what would have happened if only Johnson or only Wiz was in the race, instead of both of them splitting the anti-Murphy vote.

I guess the Seinfeld T.V Show was wrong.  Phil Murphy beat The Wiz.

All Mayoral races can be called:

Mayor - Atlantic City - General
21 of 21 Precincts Reporting - 100%
Name   Party   Votes   Vote %
Gilliam, Frank   Dem   2,486   48%
Guardian, Don (i)   GOP   2,407   47%
Polillo, Joseph   Ind   133   3%
Green, Henry   Grn   107   2%

That's all the people that voted in Atlantic City?  Everything dies, baby, that's a fact, and some things stay dead!

How do you think the GOP won the VA House of Delegates in the first place in 2000 after decades out of power?

Ohhhh, I can't wait until Democrats gerrymander the living hell out of Virginia. Maybe they'll go on another 120-year run of complete control.

They could, sure. There is no VRA preclearance anymore. They did so for over a century before.

But I can think of ways to retaliate.

Complaining on a message board like you do with New Jersey?

Nah. Congress and Jeff Sessions can simply block Virginia from gerrymandering with legislation, among other things. We won the elections and have the keys of federal power.

Doesn't seem like your team knows how to use them.

Didn't the U.S Supreme Court rule that midterm redistricting was legal when Texas did it in 2003?
