Court Reverses Itself, Carl Lewis Is Off The Ballot
Politickernj and the Star Ledger are reporting that the three judge panel of the Third District Court Federal Appeals Court reversed its earlier order that Carl Lewis be on the ballot as a State Senate candidate in the 8th legislative district.
Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno, acting in her capacity as Secretary of State, had ordered Lewis off the ballot because he does not meet the state constitutional residency requirement. Today’s order affirms Guadagno’s position.
Politickernj said that the Democrats might make Lewis an Assembly candidate since the Assembly only has a two year residency requirement, compared to the Senate’s four year requirement.
