New Jersey isn't usually known as a hot-bed of religious nuttery. Refusing to change this oath seems like a strange hill to die on for these election officials. There can be no religious tests for holding public office in this country, and Article VI of the U.S. Constitution pre-dates the Bill of Rights. This speaks directly to how the framers felt about keeping religion out of government.

This should be an easy win. Being New Jersey and not the deep south, it shouldn't have had to get to the point of a lawsuit. Too bad Christian Fucking Privilege makes the zealots piss on everything.
