Senator Frank Lautenberg , ( Deceased )
New Jersey Assembly Passes Bill To Combine Elections
The Democratic-controlled New Jersey state Assembly on Monday passed legislation to move all state elections this year to Oct. 16, the day Gov. Chris Christie (R) picked for a special U.S. Senate election.
The move is another step toward a showdown with the governor. Democrats have objected to Christie’s decision to hold the special election to fill the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by the death of Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D) just 20 days before the general election on Nov. 5. The special election and its Aug. 13 primary will each cost the state at least $12 million. (Celock/Huffington Post)
