!!!! Crooked Politicians ?????????
Like Sandman said, who'd a thunk it?
I'm not really in favor of a one-sided race. I think the folks ought to have a choice.
However.... you knew there'd be a "however" didn't ya?
There's this:
"The laws of the state of New Jersey do not include a 'we think we're going to lose so we get to pick someone new' clause."
Have to wonder how much THAT figured into the play, even though they were late out of the gate realizing they were in deep with this guy.
So, we're back to responsibilty/accountability again. They went with him knowing he had "problems" and now they got bit in the butt on it.
Guess there's always the "write-in" option but realistically that's not a viable option, given the way a US election works.
So, while I'm sympathetic to at least a two-party race, I think I'm going to have to say "ya shoulda thought about that a little earlier...... say like before the deadline to replace him".
OK, cleared in hot with your flamethrowers.

BTW, before you start lighting up, I'd say EXACTLY the same thing if this was a Republican in this situation.
Just one of the differences between me and Decem Ursus.
