Independent New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Chris Daggett voted this morning — in a process that involved some jokes about his obscure location on many county ballots, mixed in among numerous minor candidates.
As the Star-Ledger reports:
After taking a few minutes to fill out his ballot a poll worker said, “he can’t find his name!”
When Daggett emerged he responded, “I found my name. I practiced on the sample ballot.”
On my own absentee ballot, issued by Essex County, Daggett’s name was ninth out of 12 choices. Corzine was first, and Christie was second, with a whole lot of lesser-known independent and third-party candidates between Daggett and the two major nominees.
