Nota Bene: These data are offered as-is. While reasonable efforts have been made to provide accuracy, human, data transfer, and printing errors, or errors from source material, preclude any guarantees of perfection. If you find or suspect any errors, please let me know about them.

The sources for these data include Burnham's Presidential Ballots, Robinson's Presidential Vote,  Scammon et al.'s America Votes, Fitzgerald's Legislative Manual, the state's official repository of election data, and the various New Jersey county voting clerks' websites. Unofficially, here is a list of the counties' election websites (though the quality of the web interface and duration of data posting vary considerably): Atlantic, Bergen, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Essex, Gloucester, Hudson, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, Passaic, Salem, Somerset, Sussex, Union, Warren.

For official state returns, see the Election Results Archive. For other election data, consider Dave Leip's site, the National Atlas, the ICPSR, or A New Nation Votes.

For New Jersey public opinion data, there are several good choices for data. These include the Eagleton Poll archive at Rutgers' Eagleton Institute, Fairleigh Dickinson's Public Mind Poll, and Monmouth's Polling Institute, among others.
