Murphy won (after promising to raise taxes in already-high-taxed NJ) because there are a lot fewer Americans here than even four years ago when Christie won re-election easily. Simply put, there are a LOT more people sitting on the wagon and a LOT less people pulling.
Before Christie was governor, even Democrat governor Jon Corzine admitted that without ILLEGAL immigration, NJ lost population (and we lost electoral votes to prove it).
NJ urban areas are 90% minorities. The Democratic Party has registered every living soul and records a vote for each of them every election day. A Republican operative counted fewer than forty voters going to the polls in a Paterson precinct a few years back. When the machines were totaled over 800 votes for the Democrat were recorded Four for the Republican. Nothing happened. It is virtually impossible for a statewide Republican candidate to win in New Jersey, New York, Illinois or California.
Garden people can’t get enough of liberalism: even more taxes is no sweat off their backs!
They should put a cap on how many votes any one city can get.
I saw an Electoral map of Connecticut the last governor election and most towns went R...but Malloy won...
What’s changed in recent years is a massive influx of Asian immigrants to suburban areas, especially in Central New Jersey. This has given the Democrats many new voters and also caused many white, American voters, who mostly vote for Republicans, to leave the state.
In a few years, there will be enough Indians in Central New Jersey to have their own set aside Congressional district. Indian voters are on the far left, only black voters lean more to the Democrats. That district, when it comes, will likely elect an ultra-left wing Keith Ellison type candidate.
Like most states, the cities dominate states... In Connecticut and if you look at Maine CD-1 most of the towns went for the Republican candidate..
