Quaremba v. Allan

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the lower courts' judgment, holding that N.J.S.A. 19:49-2 is a constitutional regulation of primary ballot positioning and that the county clerk in Bergen County acted within his discretionary authority without violating the Equal Protection Clause. The Court rejected the plaintiffs' claims that the statute created invidious classifications, that the clerk must follow N.J.S.A. 19:23-24, and that the clerk abused his discretion.
