In New Jersey, the way primary election ballots are organized gives a big advantage to candidates endorsed by party bosses. These candidates get top spots on the ballot and are grouped together, making them more likely to win. Candidates not endorsed by the party often end up in less visible spots on the ballot, making it harder for them to win. This system gives a lot of power to party bosses who are not elected by voters. Winning the support of these party bosses is more important for candidates than winning over voters in primary elections.
