No Challenges Filed to any New Jersey Presidential Petitions
December 26th, 2007
New Jersey requires 1,000 signatures for a candidate to get on the Democratic or Republican presidential primary ballots. As reported earlier, six Democrats and six Republicans turned in petitions in New Jersey.

New Jersey elections officials do not check the validity of these petitions. Some of the candidates turned in just barely over 1,000 signatures. Among the Democrats, Joe Biden only turned in 1,018, and Dennis Kucinich only turned in 1,052. Among the Republicans, Fred Thompson only turned in 1,133. However, no one challenged any petition, and the challenge period is over.
