In Atlantic County, battleground central for the CD2 contest, the Division of Elections has marked 86,000 ballots received and 22,000 counted.

To date, there is roughly a 2-1 Democrat over Republican advantage among those tallied ballots, but that is changing this week as more Republicans are expected to vote in the aftermath of a judge’s ruling Friday. Performance has also been less brisk overall in high-plurality Dem urban areas Atlantic City and Pleasantville.

The clerk’s office issued 180,000 ballots countywide.

Dems have a registration advantage over their rivals of 68K to 50K.
