Large number of conservative Orthodox Jews who register as Democrats and vote to have a say in who gets elected in New Jersey. Not exactly rocket science to figure out he’s trying to juice their primary turnout (and they vote as a bloc like no other voting group in America, just ask the last conservative Dem who got elected to the legislature based solely on their vote).

It’s honestly smart strategy for him to try to take some of the moderate or electability concerned Democratic primary voters and coalesce the conservative Democrats to him to hopefully squeak by with 20-30% as the Dem nominee against Sherrill and the rest of the field. That’s his only pathway and that’s why he’s sponsored this bill. He knows not to try for the left vote because they hate him and this is his sole potential pathway to the Governorship.

Expect more of this stupidity up until primary day.

And Hasidic Jews as well, located in Passaic and other parts of NJ.

I know people who are tactically voting for the candidate who's leading in the NJ primary solely to prevent him from winning it.
