tried it. NJ MVC keeps only your NJ address on file. so when you go to obtain it online with your social it automatically sets it to be sent to that NJ address and doesn't allow you to change your address in their system to anything but New Jersey.

That’s precisely why I want her to stay in that district.

I don’t have a dog in this fight but Mikie leaving could allow the congressional district to flip back to red. She capitalized on Frelinghuysen retiring and the conflict between moderates and MAGA voters in the district. The new district lines help Democrats, but there are still a lot of moderate conservatives in the area.

There's a way to do it online with your social security number

Gottheimer is more likely to run than Vin is.

Yea pretty sure vin isn’t going to run. It’s not the right time for him.

As someone who is in Newark on a daily basis I would rather we be a governor less state than see Ras Baraka as governor. The man is only mayor because he kisses up to the poorer mostly black wards and he doesn't do much for the city as a whole he's been riding the investments and connections made by Cory Booker . The ironbound section takes care of themselves and the few times he's been there for events he's been booed.

i quit driving, indefinitely. i hadn't planned on getting my license for a very long time, and didn't care about keeping up with it.
i discovered that the only way for me to do this through MJ MVC is to get a printout of the abstract request form and snail mail it -> Trenton, then Trenton -> the abstract via certified mail. from there i'd take the abstract to the Minnesota DMV.
sucks it isn't very efficient; bringing them the abstract is just to get the appointment for my road test. that's a few ubers there ans back.
i'm not even sure how the hell i can take the road test without a car or knowing anyone in the state. 🤷♂️

I like Mikie a lot. That said, she should remain in Congress. I’m for Wisniewski giving it another go. He’s the one I supported in 2017.

The problem with Fulop is he is propelled by the part of the Dems that don't want to see a more moderate dem candidate. Thats why I think Mikie Sherill would sweep Fulop, Fulop is trying to catch a base that (if they new better) would never support him. When I initiated this poll, it surprised me to see Fulop perform better than people like Sweeney or Gopal.

If you’re looking at Hudson county politicians I’d pick Bhalla over Fulop for sure. while he’s not 100% clean in terms of sketchiness, I still think he’s a good person who would do a good job.

I agree, Fulop is the choice for "hes a democrat who looks good" voters. Mikie Sherill and Ras Baraka are better candidates.

There are companies that can get it as well. Just search the internet and many will come up. Should cost between 25-65$ for you to have a MVR company get it for you.

If Fulop runs and wins the nomination he’ll lose pretty easily to any moderate republican. He’s riddled with corruption and it doesn’t even try to hide it.

You wouldn’t have to take the driving test or get the permit if you didn’t let your license expire. Never let your license expire, even if you are moving out of state. It can cause all kinds of issues.
You need to call NJ driver services and have them update your address and mail you the abstract. They might charge you $10. If you can’t get them on the phone, then you have to do the six month permit in MN. Both states are participating in AAMVA, which means that your records from NJ will transfer with you seamlessly. Once they get the abstract.

TRUST ME! Do a search on FB for groups in your area. You'll find more than a few. Get proper tennis court shoes, a paddle (don't over-spend; 50$ or under for your first one), and that's that.

You have me convinced! I've never played a legit sport but have wanted to get active with a community of people, this sounds like the answer!

I've had luck using the Meetup app to find local groups and activities. I went on a really nice walk/city tour put on by my town's historical society, and there are lots of other walking/hiking groups I've seen lately.
Also, your situation sounds almost identical to mine and I'd love to get in touch if you're interested! I'm 22f, graduated college, moved to Essex county from the west coast last August, and don't have any friends/family in this part of the country. It doesn't sound like we're the closest geographically but my DMs are open regardless. :)
