About New Jersey

New Jersey has gone Democratic in the past seven presidential elections after voting Republican in the previous six. Thanks to its dense population, the state is a valuable prize, worth 14 electoral votes. Key issues for voters include the legality of cannabis, the opioid crisis, education, property taxes, and infrastructure (especially after the Chris Christie New Jersey Bridge Scandal). New Jersey is home to the first drive-in movie theater, first baseball game, and first seaside resort.
