Special Congressional Primary. Mejia increased her margin over Malinowski by 100 votes. 6,000 more to count.

Mail-in votes have until Friday to be counted. Both candidates are progressive but with Mejia earning endorsement from Bernie, A.O.C. and Eliz. Warren.

Malinowski was considered to be the favorite until he was opposed by attack ads paid by A.I..P.A.C..Well it looks like they got what they paid for... Malinowski will likely lose but Mejia is more anti-Israel than Malinowski so maybe God has a sense of humor after all.

MAJOR TAKEAWAY: Neither of these candidates was the choice of the Essex County machine nor Gov. Murphy.
