New Jersey GOPer Failed To File For Senate Race Because - He Was Stuck In Traffic
The only thing that would have made this a better story would have been if he had been stuck in traffic on the George Washington Bridge.
The candidate, ex-FBI agent Rob Turkavage, was unable to file for the Republican primary to face Booker in November because he got stuck in traffic as he was trying to get to the Trenton office of the state Division of Elections before the 4 p.m. filing deadline on Monday, according to the Star-Ledger of New Jersey.

“I’m stuck in traffic,” Turkavage told the New Jersey newspaper.
Turkavage said he had collected the necessary 1,000 signatures to run but was too busy to turn in the petition earlier.
“To make a long story short, I called them to see if I could get down there. They said if you’re not there until 4, don’t bother coming,” Turkavage said.
