"Andy Kim Takes Legal Action Against Ballot Design in Senate Race"

Rep. Andy Kim filed a federal lawsuit aiming to eliminate New Jersey's county line system, which groups party-endorsed candidates together on primary ballots and excludes those not endorsed by the party. Kim argues that the system confers an unfair advantage and is unconstitutional. If successful, the lawsuit would redesign the state's ballots to the "office block" style, potentially boosting Kim's campaign for the U.S. Senate. His main opponent, First Lady Tammy Murphy, has declined to join the call for change, leading to criticism from Kim. The lawsuit alleges violations of voting rights and seeks rectification in time for this year's primary, but the legal process timeline remains uncertain.
