    “Too many unserious and frivolous candidates that lack support from their community complicates ballot design and provides an opportunity to confuse and misdirect voters.”

    Seems logical to me. Over nine million people in New Jersey, but I only need 800 to get on a ballot? There’s no link to the legislation, did they hard-code the numbers, or make it a percentage of population?

        Allowing anybody with a pulse to run for a statewide office won’t fix that, and actually makes it easier to game the system.
