The polls have closed in New Jersey and the counting of votes has begun.

The Associated Press was already calling the races in New Jersey for Harris and Andy Kim, who was seeking to succeed disgraced former U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez. (See below for an explanation on how the AP calls races.)

While Harris won New Jersey, she was performing behind President Biden's vote haul in 2020. Trump was winning a majority of the votes in a majority of the counties (12), an improvement from the five counties he won in the Garden State in 2020.

It includes suburbs west of New York City, stretching from Westfield to Pennsylvania’s eastern border. The Associated Press declared Kean the winner at 12:00 a.m.

What's at stake in this election

Not only is New Jersey choosing who will win the state's 14 votes in the Electoral College, but voters will pick someone to replace former U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, who resigned in a bribery scandal. The state's 12 seats in the House of Representatives are also being decided, although only the 7th Congressional District is considered competitive.

Many counties in New Jersey began counting mail-in ballots at 6 a.m. this morning. Ballots postmarked by Tuesday will be counted if they are received by Monday of next week.

Counties will begin counting early in-person and Election Day in-person voting at 8 p.m.

Provisional ballots will be counted after their eligibility has been verified.

How NJ voted last time

These are the numbers we have to compare 2024 to.

In 2020, President Biden won New Jersey with 2.6 million votes, or 57%, to Donald Trump's 1.88 million, or 41%.

Voter turnout in 2020 was 72% — and the total number of people voting that year had increased by 17% from 2016.

New Jersey 101.5 will rely on the highly accurate Associated Press to track election results in the rest of the nation, particularly in the handful of battleground states such as neighboring Pennsylvania.

The AP has been calling elections for more than 170 years. It’s an important service that helps the public determine who won an election without waiting weeks for the official tallies.

How does the AP do it?

Like New Jersey 101.5, the AP tracks ongoing vote counts from country clerks. The AP keeps track of how many ballots are still uncounted and which regions the votes are coming from. They also track recent voting trends and demographic data and use results from AP VoteCast, a survey conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago for the AP and Fox News.

“The AP’s race calls are not predictions and are not based on speculation,” the nonprofit news organization explained last month. “They are declarations based on an analysis of vote results and other election data that one candidate has emerged as the winner and that no other candidate in the race will be able to overtake the winner once all the votes have been counted.”

It’s important to remember that each county in New Jersey (not to mention counties across the country) handle elections a little differently. We don’t have a national system like other nations. Some counties will report election results as they trickle in after polls close. Other counties will reveal their results after they’re done counting for the night.

Looking at real-time election results on election night can give the false impression that one candidate is “ahead” or that the race is “close” if one doesn’t pay attention to the number of polling places that have been counted — or where those polling places were located.

For example, if the first polling places to be counted in a Republican-leaning county come from a solidly Democratic city, it can appear that the Democratic candidate is ahead early on when in reality there were always more votes waiting to be counted from the more conservative districts.

New Jersey 101.5 will tabulate the presidential, U.S. Senate and Central Jersey's 7th Congressional District election results on a county-by-county basis.

Sometime after Tuesday, we will present the results on a municipal level, allowing us to see whether local voter trends have shifted since the 2020 and 2016 races.
