Is there any legit source that shows the current Election Results so far for the Governor Race? I am not talking about poll predictions, but actual results. Since we now have had early voting for several days now, I'd think the voting machines are keeping track of the data so far. Is this data being released to the public somewhere, or are they keeping it a secret?

Even exit polling results do not get released until after polls close. I am guessing it is impossible that you can get actual election results while elections are going on.

Early voting must be kept to a minimum in the event one candidate or the other makes a fatal gaff, drops out or accused of a crime.

Can't get your vote back.

Limit early voting, exception request for absentee ballot qualified needs.

Murphy will win, no need to wonder in a one party state.

The only thing to wonder about is why he was re-elected.

No, it is not released until the final tally, for the same reason that TV and radio stations don't release the results of their exit polls until after the polls close. Early and incomplete release of this information could unduly influence voter behavior.

It has been a VERY long time since any democrat Gov won twice in a row in NJ. Most of the time, NJ flip flops between Dems and Republican Governors every 4 years. Therefore, there is no guarantee Murphy will win. In fact, even polls say they are in a very tight race!

I already know who lost - the middle class as usual.

I disagree with this. I want as many citizens to be able to vote as possible and one random non-holiday Tuesday isn't enough to maximize the will of the general public. Allowing early voting beginning a couple weeks before is needed. If they want to make it a national holiday and/or a weekend, then I am open to changing early voting.

Because he's done a good job, and none of the alternatives have a viable platform.

Watched undercover video of his senior adviser saying vaccine mandates right after he wins election. But I’m sure the reporters in NJ will be reporting on it soon……….or after election.
