Analilia Mejia widened her lead over Tom Malinowski in New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District special Democratic primary to 889 votes (18,584 for Mejia vs. 17,695 for Malinowski) after Essex County added 839 tallies; counts remain unsettled with thousands of provisional and mail ballots in Essex, Morris, and Passaic counties, meaning final results could shift before a potential April 16 special election against Republican Joe Hathaway for Sherrill's unexpired term.
