I expect dismal turnout, as always in off-year New Jersey elections, but even more so with the weather forecast. Weirdly, it's rained three years in a row on election day here.
I have no doubt that the legislature will stay majority Democratic in both chambers, I just really don't want my Councilman, Chris DiPiazza, to win a seat in my Assembly district. I actually went to middle school with him, he was kind of an arrogant prick, if I'm being honest. Back then, he gave me a scar on my lip when he idiotically zipped the sweatshirt I was wearing all the way up to my lip, causing it to gush blood to the point of leaving a scar. I didn't cry or resent him for that. I was mostly just confused about why he did that for seemingly no reason. I mean, who even does that?That's not why I don't want him to win though, it's because he's a Republican, and apparently a very ambitious one. My district is usually solidly Democratic, but in an off-year election with low turnout like this, he or the other Republican he is running with could possibly win. They are already winning the lawn sign campaign.
I see DiPiazza as a future leader in NJ.
Was he really a prick? He has a charismatic look about him.

Suburban Westfield/Union County is trending D because of a lot of New Yorkers moving in.
