Meanwhile, a separate legal battle rages over overseas voting, as a candidate and the RNC sue a state law allowing military families abroad to vote — a law the state’s AG vows to defend. With mail-in ballots still central to election access, New Jersey’s six-day post-election window remains a secure, vital tool for broad participation.
