"Federal Judge Rules on New Jersey Ballot Design for Senate Primary"

U.S. District Court Judge Zahid Quraishi's decision to replace organization lines with office block ballots for the June 2024 primary election applies only to Democrats, leaving the lines intact for the Republican primary. The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed by Democratic candidates, and the judge clarified that the order is limited to the Democratic Primary Election, meaning ballots in nineteen counties will use office block ballots for Democrats and traditional organization lines for Republicans.
