Atlantic County officials are concerned about a lawsuit filed by Congressman Andy Kim against 19 county clerks that use the county line system to organize candidates on election ballots. A decision in Kim’s favor would require the reformatting of sample ballots, mail-in-ballots and return envelopes among other possible revisions at yet-to-be-determined costs to taxpayers. A hearing on the lawsuit is scheduled for March 18, one week before the filing deadline for the June 4 primary, with a decision by a federal judge expected by April 5. The Atlantic County clerk says if Kim is successful in his lawsuit, it will leave insufficient time for county clerks to implement the necessary revisions to meet deadlines for the primary election processes.
