This would require overwhelming strength for one party, plus a concentration of highbrow centrists. Montclair? Princeton Borough and Township? Can't think of any other examples off the top of my head. A place like Camden or Trenton doesn't work, since the few Republicans in such cities are more likely to be socially conservative types. (Though is Forest Hill, Newark the sort of place where Daggett will do well?)

Precincts perhaps, small ones. But not any actual municipalities.

NJ has some ridiculously tiny municipalities.  I forget why, it might have had something to do with golf courses.

Right.  Camden County's Tavistock clocks in at 24 people as of the last census.  It consists solely of a golf course that seceded from its parent township of Haddonfield to evade blue laws.

Pine Valley, also in Camden, has a population of 20.  It too is a golf course that serves alcohol.

Teterboro is the smallest municipality in the state, with 18 folks—only 12 of whom were over 18 at the time of the last census.  The mayor and town council make up almost 42% of the voting population.  This one's not a golf course, though—it's a municipal airport!

New Jersey's laws for making new towns suck.

I'm looking on Google Maps satellite and trying to figure out how 18 people live in an airport.

Well, next to.  The population had to be greater than 0, or it couldn't be done.

On edit, from Wikipedia:
The 2000 census failed to count any of the residents of the Vincent Place housing units who had moved into the newly built homes in 1999. The uncounted residents, including the Mayor and all four Council members, would help make up a projected tripling of the population enumerated by the census. Previously, the Mayor and Council, as well as several other Vincent Place residents, had all been residents of Huyler Street, the only other street zoned as a residential area in the borough.

LOL Teteboro.  I still am not sure where exactly the houses are, but I know a member of the Watt family has been mayor for like 50+ years
