New Jersey extends voting to Friday

I would say there's more ground for complaint/abuse if no allowance is made for those affected by the storm.

Election Day is Federally mandated as the Tuesday following the first Monday in November. The states cannot change that. New Jersey has not changed that. If you read the article carefully, they have only extended the deadline for the return of Fax and Email votes. Those ballots must still be applied for today.

Nothing illegal or unconstitutional, and it probably doesn't change anything. The Electors don't meet for the real election until the first Wednesday in December.
