Judge grants considerable leeway to avoid disenfranchising voters
A Superior Court judge has taken an expansive view of New Jersey’s voter registration law, ruling that two men who never formally signed up to vote must still be added to the rolls in advance of next week’s general election.
Judge William G. Mennen IV ordered that a 20-year-old Hunterdon resident who thought registering for the Selective Service System also enabled him to vote be registered as of today.
In a separate hearing, Mennen allowed a Somerset County man to vote this year, even though he had no recollection of having registered to vote.
The Hunterdon man said he was away at school and registered for the Selection Service, saying he “thought that that automatically registered you.”
