A federal judge tossed the Trump campaign’s lawsuit against New Jersey’s primarily mail-in election

Neither the Trump campaign nor the Republican State Committee immediately responded to requests for comment.Citing the coronavirus pandemic, Gov. Phil Murphy, through executive order, required that New Jersey’s 2020 election be conducted mainly through mail-in ballot. Voters can still vote in-person on Election Day by provisional ballot.

The Trump campaign sued in August, largely on the grounds that Murphy bypassed the state Legislature through the executive order. So the Democrat-led Legislature passed a bill that Murphy signed, effectively writing the executive order into law and allowing county boards of elections to count votes beginning 10 days before Election Day.

The Trump campaign then amended its lawsuit with new arguments, including challenging the early vote counts and a provision that allows elections officials to accept mail-in ballots without postmarks for up to 48 hours after the polls close.Since the election is well under way in New Jersey, Shipp’s decision is more of a symbolic blow to the Trump campaign and Republicans, who have argued that universal mail-in elections create the opportunity for voter fraud.

POLITICO Playbook: New poll: Biden edges Trump on the economyJust 38% of Americans say President Donald Trump has done an excellent or good job on the coronavirus according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll And that 38% is all white, trusting Jesus (to overturn Roe v Wade) and mad. Not quite sure what they are mad about, but mad. Think they are being marginalized and worried someone will make them get health insurance. He has done a terrible job. That’s why I voted for Biden 'Just 38%...' Sounds as though you expected more.
