THE TIMES VERSUS THE FACTS

“With the low turnout in yesterday’s primary, once again we see the perils of such tactics – they leave too many voters with the idea that neither candidate is worthy of the job or worth the time and effort it takes to vote. Over the next four months, New Jersey voters deserve a general election campaign that stresses the sharp policy and philosophical differences between Mr. Schundler and Mr. McGreevey without turning off the electorate.” – The New York Times editorial on the New Jersey Republican primary. In fact, the turnout in the primary was the highest for either party in twenty years. Correction, anyone?
