Clinton Could Clinch in New Jersey
Patrick Murray, the director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute, talks about national politics with an eye on New Jersey voters.
First, let's clear up an important misconception: if you are an unaffiliated voter in New Jersey (that is, you have no party affiliation), you can show up at the primary polls on June 7th and pick a party and ballot on the spot, says Murray. It is NOT a true closed primary, as has been widely reported.
@BrianLehrer Yes, I will vote for Hillary. I decided in 2008!
