Quite frankly VTA, NJ already has a shitty voting record so I doubt little will change. I'd rather these people go to Jersey than a red state.
Being from NJ I have first hand perceptions of this situation. First, over 30 years ago NJ pushed this bullshit affordable housing mandate which was really a ruse to move Democrat voters into Republican strongholds. My area had a staunchly conservative representative until about 8 years ago. By then we had taken in enough non-thinkers to elected a Democrat who claims to work across the aisles but votes with Democrats 100% of the time. Remember, it was not that long ago that there were enough Republican strongholds to elect Christie Whitman and Chris Christie, both Republicans as governor. But like my district, most of those Republican strongholds fell once Democrats were able to import more imbeciles into the affordable homes they forced towns to develop.
Now, this state is so dark blue it looks black.
At the same time, NJ is notoriously corrupt. We have already had several prosecutions for voter fraud, but trust me, those Democrats who got caught were opponents of the NJ Democrat ruling class. I imagine the corruption is far worse than what we have detected.
NJ is not as bad as California or NY, but it is certainly getting there.
Even if we elect a Republican governor this time the state assembly is so Democrat the governor will get nothing done and the state has enough votes to override his vetoes.
I don't know how much longer I will stay here. But I am getting close to calling it quits given the taxes and gun laws.
