Description
New Jersey Representative Andy Kim is seeking an injunction to stop New Jersey primary ballots from using the "county line" which groups candidates together if the local party endorses them. Plus, It's back to the drawing board when it comes to New York State’s congressional districts. A bi-partisan commission had drawn up a new set of districts but Democratic state lawmakers rejected them on Monday. Now, those same lawmakers introduced new districts overnight … and they might be in place by the end of the week. WNYC’s Michael Hill talks with Albany reporter Jon Campbell to explain the update.
