6:13 p.m. – Our friend Art Gallagher of MMM describes the Monmouth GOP’s big election night (click here).

4:13 p.m. – Surprise! Phil Murphy and Steve Sweeney disagree on whether November 5th was a good night for N.J. Democrats.

11:58 a.m. – The Assembly GOP caucus will keep state Senator Tom Kean Jr. and Assemblyman Jon Bramnick as their legislative leaders. Their caucuses are 1 and 2 seats larger, respectively, after Tuesday.

9:58 a.m. – Republicans expect to fall short of picking up an Assembly seat in LD2 by 400+ votes. A real heart-breaker.

9:34 a.m. (11/7) – In case you missed it, Sussex County voters passed an anti-Sanctuary State referendum by a better than 2-to-1 margin.

5:00 p.m. – A Republican state senator wants A.G. Grewal to investigate Jersey City’s mayor. Why? A video showing Fulop electioneering within a few feet of a polling booth. More info here…

7:45 a.m. – Burlington Republicans are officially shut-out of county government, but a big LD8 hold and some local victories are giving them reason to smile and feel optimistic about 2020, 2021. “Good news is that under Chairman Earlen’s leadership, we stopped the blue wave, let people know that Burlco GOP isn’t going anywhere, did well in municipal races, and the next chapter of our rebuilding starts tomorrow,” County GOP Vice-Chairwoman Linda Hughes told SaveJersey.com’s Matt Rooney on Election Night.

12:39 a.m. (11/6) NJGOP Chairman Doug Steinhardt, who had a solid night, issued a formal statement claiming momentum for his party: “I am proud of our candidates and the work we have done to build a foundation for the NJGOP. Republicans in New Jersey won’t be shouted into a corner. It was great to be on offense in places like LD-1. We pushed back Phil Murphy’s blue wave and in a state like New Jersey, that gives us momentum going into 2020.”

9:49 p.m. – Republican Councilman Mo Hill is narrowly leading (by 100 votes?) in Toms River in the mayor’s race.
