New Jersey's nearly all-mail primary on Tuesday is emerging as a test of the state's ability to deliver a drama-free election in the face of critical tweets from President Donald Trump and a GOP seeking federal election monitors.
Tuesday is the deadline for Democratic and Republican voters to postmark their ballots or deliver them to county boards of elections by 8 p.m. in contests for president, the U.S. Senate and the House.
New Jersey previously had no-excuse mail-in voting, but Gov. Phil Murphy this year mandated the election take place principally by mailed ballots because of the COVID-19 outbreak.
AP wire services helped contribute to this report.
