The first general election since Donald Trump became president is being held, with significant state and local elections taking place.
The results of these contests will be seen as either a repudiation or approval of Trump's agenda, particularly in high-profile races.
In New Jersey, Democrat Mikie Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli are nominees to succeed the term-limited Democratic Gov.
Ciattarelli, a former state Assemblyman, is backed by Trump.
Results will be heralded by the victors as either a major repudiation or resounding stamp of approval of his second-term agenda.
