>VOTE: A heavy ballot but light turnout expected
With New Jersey’s unemployment rate above 9 percent, most pollsters expect economic woes to influence the state’s voters when they head to the polls Tuesday.
All 120 legislative seats are up, but only a handful of races are considered truly competitive, and unless the GOP pulls off an unexpected miracle, pundits don’t expect Democrats will lose control of either chamber.
With no governor’s race atop the ticket, turnout is expected to be light for an election that also features county and municipal races.
Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. (Farrell, The Philadelphia Inquirer)
