NJ Gov: All Registered Voters Will Get Mail-In Ballots

The Washington Post reports:

New Jersey will conduct its general election mostly by mail because of the coronavirus pandemic, sending ballots to active registered voters while also providing the option to vote in person, Gov. Phil Murphy (D) announced Friday.

The state piloted a hybrid voting model during its July 7 primary, Murphy said during an interview with CNN and at a later news conference. He touted the experiment as “not perfect, but overwhelmingly a success,” despite President Trump seizing on an alleged criminal voter fraud scheme in Paterson, New Jersey’s third-largest city.

“All of us recognize the importance of this year’s election,” Murphy said in remarks on Friday afternoon. “Ensuring that every voter has the ability to securely cast their ballot, while protecting public health, is our paramount concern.”
