Machine-backed Democrats have big NJ primary wins, even without the 'line'
Incumbent New Jersey Democratic congress members who were supported by party bosses took easy wins in Tuesday’s primary race — defying expectations that they would be vulnerable when a court tossed aside a century-old ballot system that political machines have long used to boost their favored candidates.
“The main thing, and I really want to give credit here, is that it's about the people,” Kim told Gothamist. “All these people that were willing to stand up and say, ‘Give Andy a chance.’” Rubin said it will be hard to measure the impact of Tuesday’s election because not only was the court decision late in the process, but it’s unclear how future ballots will be laid out. A separate case could determine whether the county line can be used on ballots going forward. Lawmakers in Trenton, many of them beneficiaries of the county-line system, have said they’re open to redesigning the ballots.
She noted party organizations have well-built infrastructure for supporting candidates and driving turnout, and that advantage isn’t going away any time soon. Saeed Abassi, of Paterson in Passaic County, said he and his wife voted for the uncommitted delegates.
