Andy Kim Challenges New Jersey's Ballot System in Federal Court

U.S. Rep. Andy Kim files a lawsuit against New Jersey's primary ballot design, claiming it unfairly benefits his opponent, Tammy Murphy, in the Senate race.

Andy Kim, facing Tammy Murphy in a contentious Senate primary, sues over New Jersey's 'county line' ballot system, alleging it gives unfair advantage to candidates endorsed by county party leaders.
The lawsuit seeks to replace the current system with a 'block ballot' design, arguing the existing setup manipulates voters and benefits those with political connections.
Kim's legal action comes amid his recent successes in securing endorsements and winning 'the line' in several counties, despite the system he criticizes.
Chaos at a New Jersey Democrats event highlights internal divisions, with allegations of favoritism towards Murphy and attempts to change endorsement rules.
Critics accuse Murphy of leveraging her husband, Governor Phil Murphy's influence, to gain endorsements, a charge she and her campaign deny.
