On August 25, a New Jersey voter filed a challenge to the petition of the New Jersey Green Party for Governor and Lieutenant Governor. It needed 2.000 signatures and contained 2,434. A state court will adjudicate whether the petition has enough valid signatures.

This is the second petition the party submitted this year for New Jersey governor and lieutenant governor. The first petition was not challenged. But then the gubernatorial candidate withdrew for health reasons, so under a unique New Jersey law, the party had to file an entirely new petition.
