Appellate judge won’t decide if primary candidates can be on the June 7 primary ballot until after Election Day
NJ Globe: In a mystifying punt of two ballot access lawsuits, a New Jersey appellate court judge will allow primary elections to be held on June 7 with the intention of deciding the eligibility of candidates after Election Day.
Appellate Judge Hany A. Mawla today vacated his own stay of nominating petition challenges in the Democratic primary for Union County Commissioner and the Republican primary for Howell Township Council.
Mawla denied a request for emergent relief, which means there will not be an immediate ruling.
“The stay entered in this court’s order dated April 22, 2022 is hereby vacated,” Mawla said in his order. “The appeal shall proceed in the normal course.”
Instead, Mawla ordered a briefing schedule that begins on June 10 – three days after the primary – and ends on July 21.
Election officials may begin to print and mail ballots. Federal law required them to have mailed military and overseas ballots last Saturday, a missed deadline that is not the fault of county clerks. more

I assume if the one not liked by the elites wins they will discard the results and put in the one they wanted.

Because they’d allow anything they didn’t approve of, to be listed on their ballot, in the first place?
