| Description | For those outside of New Jersey, the county line, in which party-endorsed candidates get a preferential spot on the primary ballot, can seem like an intimidating, almost mythical thing. County parties endorse whichever candidates they want – and then those candidates just win? Do New Jersey party leaders really have such awesome power?
As last night’s primary results showed, there’s a bit more nuance to it than that. The line is certainly powerful – after all, every candidate who won last night received at least one party line – but it’s also complex, and it may produce different results depending on the county, candidate, and context. |
