"NJ Senate Candidate Andy Kim Challenges Ballot Design in Lawsuit"

Democratic Senate candidate Andy Kim has filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of New Jersey's "county line" balloting system, which he argues is undemocratic and gives an unfair advantage to certain candidates. The lawsuit targets county clerks in all 19 counties and calls for the elections to be conducted using the "office block" style. Kim's move comes as he faces a primary challenge against New Jersey first lady Tammy Murphy, who is expected to benefit from the current system. If successful, the lawsuit could impact the upcoming June 4 primary, but its resolution before then seems unlikely.
