Senate Race in New Jersey

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the involvement of the U.S. Supreme Court in the Senate elections in New Jersey. The legal concerns of the Republican party were brought to the U.S. Supreme Court following the ruling of the New Jersey Supreme Court, allowing a deviance from the legislature. The paper examines the New Jersey State laws, which clearly define the timing and conditions for the withdrawal of a candidate and replacement of that candidate on the ballot.

From the Paper:

"The Republicans still had some hope that the United States Supreme Court would overrule the New Jersey Supreme Court. The US Supreme Court had involved itself in the Florida voting problems in the 2000 Presidential Election. However that was a Federal election and involved the executive branch. The New Jersey situation affected state law, not federal law so the US courts would not get involved. The state courts would have had to misinterpret the state responsibilities written into the US Constitution."
