Mejia Clings to Narrow NJ-11 Lead as Ballots Continue to Roll In
Analilia Mejia holds a razor-thin lead in New Jersey’s 11th District special Democratic primary over Tom Malinowski, with 488 votes separating them as thousands of mail‑in and provisional ballots remain to be counted. Ballots across Essex, Morris and Passaic counties could still shift the result, likely keeping the race unresolved through the weekend. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee signaled it may engage again in June, a development Mejia criticized, while both candidates have said they wouldn’t continue campaigning if defeated. The winner will face GOP Joe Hathaway in the April 16 general election, with a potential June Democratic primary to follow.
