>New Jersey Redistricting Attempt to Silence Suburban Voters

There is currently a plan being discussed that will diminish registered voters in the suburban and rural areas by as much as 50% because of low voter turnout in the cities. The districts will be weighted in favor of urban areas 2 to 1.

This proposal, if passed, would in essence allow one person’s vote in an urban area to count twice as much as the same vote in the suburbs, continuing and possibly worsening, the unbalanced & skewed elections we have had in the past.

1 person = 2 votes + voter fraud + high voter turnout = your voice is SILENCED!
What is being proposed is DIAMETRICALLY opposed to common sense and the Constitution.
The fairest way to establish the districts is one person, one vote.

>Upgrade outdated policies to encourage competition

Let’s face it: In the current political climate, it’s hard to get agreement on anything. Yet while everyone seems to agree that it’s important to take actions to improve New Jersey’s economy and stimulate job creation, not everyone sees eye-to-eye on how to do it. (Galandak, NJBIZ)
