I just filed a lawsuit to extend voting hours by one hour to 9:00 p.m. in Burlington County, and to make paper ballots available to voters in that county. We will continue to fight to ensure that all voters can participate in this election.

Everyone who has reached out with supportive words today - and thank you for that, it’s much appreciated - should keep Patrick in mind for any openings. He’s top-notch, as a person and a professional.

Some unfortunate personal news: I have been laid off from New Jersey 101.5.

[Michael Symons @MichaelSymons_]

NJ has certified its 2022 election results. Turnout was 41.1% of registered voters, compared with 55.2% in the 2018 midterm. Though for some reason, the Hudson ballots cast are listed as 11,460 below what the county reported.

@Whpanic78 Not sure - though if I was there for it, I'd be there until Sunday. I think between the end of Jersey Week and more generally the Veterans Day holiday, it'll be rather crowded there through the whole weekend.
