So the county chairs aren't going to give up on the line easily I have heard a rumor from a reliable source, folks. If @AndyKimNJ wins his lawsuit, they want to do block ballots with a highlight on their preferred candidates to create a new line Which is ridiculous. And bad

So, strange report from the Tammy Murphy Town Hall at County College of Morris tonight. @TammyMurphyNJ seems to have made a claim she was require "by law" and "by statue" to run on "the line" if her husband secures if for her. But this is nonsense. (1/3)

In all seriousness, @MarkHamill , thank you. The fight in New Jersey is bigger than whether @AndyKimNJ or @TammyMurphyNJ is the nominee for Senate. This fight is about whether NJ voters have the right to choose their own candidates in primaries. @AndyKimNJ is fighting for voters.

@MarkHamill @LizzieKFoley @andykim Thank you Mark for helping New Jersey elect Andy Kim. We're fighting awful corruption here and having you on board is elating. Andy is the Luke Skywalker taking on nepotism and entrenched machine politics. Our governor is trying to crown his wife as our Senator. We say NO!

And in all of this chaos, @AndyKimNJ makes it a very bad, awful, no good day for @TammyMurphyNJ with a 156-54 win at the Atlantic Democratic Convention. (And...um...bottoms up, Atlantic-call a Lyft if you need one to get home safely after your $40 wine lunch)

Andy Kim wins the Atlantic Democratic convention! 156-54, a margin of 74%-26%. A huge margin, and a really striking rebuke of Norcross and the broader pro-Murphy South Jersey Democratic machine.

So for those of you who want to use the New Jersey's new math standards for corruption. @GovMurphy 's administration just spent about two gold bars worth of taxpayer dollars promoting @TammyMurphyNJ right after she announced her Senate run.

The most revealing part of this article is when @TammyMurphyNJ says she is sick of "hearing about the process" and @LeRoyJJonesJr complains that talk of the line has "overshadowed" the campaign Well sure. Cheaters never like to talk about cheating.

Okay, @MikieSherrill , I was planning on doing @CoryBooker next, but the news about the line broke, and you're up. You are a great example of how NJ corruption destroys fundamentally honest politicians. And I am begging you to stop taking bad advice and trust yourself🧵

With all due respect, @GovMurphy , you don't have the right to be offended. You are not the wronged party. You get to accept the consequences of your actions like a damn adult without all this drama and whining. You are a public servant, not a toddler.

So @GovMurphy is continuing to look out for himself, and not the people of New Jersey by choosing someone to represent his interests in Washington DC and not ours. You continue to be an embarrassment and a disappointment, @GovMurphy . And @ghelmy is not worthy of the position.

So I've been involved in grassroots organizing in NJ for a while now, and there is a real anger about the way Tammy Murphy is being pushed on us as a Senate candidate The people who knock doors and do the work for the Democratic Party will not show up if @GovMurphy forces this.

You know who gets it? Tom @Malinowski . "The line encourages [party leaders] to focus on all the wrong things, in all the wrong places. It creates conflict between party insiders and the activists who do most of the work of getting candidates elected."

One more thing about @TammyMurphyNJ and her son scolding Essex activists about nepotism last Sunday. They claimed no one can criticize Tammy for running on the line because Andy Kim did it to. But Kim doesn't control the line. @GovMurphy does. And he is abusing his power (1/7)

To be very clear, @AndyKimNJ still supports ending the county line even though he would now be the primary beneficiary of it after @TammyMurphyNJ dropped out. “Congressman Kim strongly believes that NJ should move to a fair, office block ballot system.”

Hey @MarkHamill , your candidate @AndyKimNJ took out NJ's County Line for the primaries in a ruling from the 3rd Circuit Court. It's good news! It's a big deal in terms of voting rights and anti-corruption in NJ. Like blowing up the first Death Star big.

On Friday at 11 am, @GovMurphy (manbaby/Goldman Sachs) will announce George Helmy as @SenatorMenendez 's replacement in the U.S. Senate. Helmy is not much of an improvement. It's part of his prolonged temper tantrum because we didn't make @TammyMurphyNJ our new Senator. 1/15

How I know I am Gen X is that once my dad caught me using power tools to build a live skunk trap to save the skunks my neighbor was going to kill. And he was like "Whatever, she'll never catch a skunk," and left me to it. Reader, I caught all seven.

In contrast to some other counties in NJ, Chair Amalia Duarte @duarte4mendham deserves recognition for Morris Voting was secret & online. Delegates had 2 days to vote & didn't have to be there in person. Candidates were given equal access to delegates. This is good. Also normal
