>N.J. voter turnout hits an all-time low
New Jersey’s registered voters set a state record this past Tuesday, but that wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
Of the 5.2 million registered voters in New Jersey, the Wall Street Journal reported that only 1.4 million came out to vote, a total of about 26 percent.
Essex County led, or trailed the list, with only 18 percent of its registered voters voting, according to election records. Hudson County had 19 percent voter participation, and 225 came out in Passaic County. Only 34 percent of registered voters came out in Atlantic County, where the ballot question on sports betting would have the most impact. (Holt, New Jersey Newsroom)
