The Ciattarelli campaign criticized the Associated Press for calling the New Jersey gubernatorial race, arguing that it was “irresponsible” to make the call this early in the counting. “With the candidates separated by a fraction of a percent out of 2.4 million ballots cast, it’s irresponsible of the media to make this call when the New Jersey Secretary of State doesn’t even know how many ballots are left to be counted,” said Ciattarelli Campaign Communications Director Stami Williams on Twitter Wednesday.

Biden won New Jersey by 10-plus points last year.
