Ballots to be printed without Lewis’ name
Things still aren’t going Carl Lewis’ way. The state supreme court decided today ballots can be printed without the Olympian’s name, despite several appears from Lewis to be allowed to run for the New Jersey Senate.
Ballot printing was delayed as the court decided whether Lewis should be allowed on, but today’s ruling is one in a series keeping Lewis from running.
