The U.S. Senate campaign of Tammy Murphy, the wife of Gov. Phil Murphy, is calling attention to an arcane voting system in New Jersey, which could give her an upper hand in the Democratic primary.

Murphy, 58, has never run for elected office but in the days following her announcement, many of the top Democrat Party officials in the state pledged their support.

"Tammy Murphy is a very good fundraiser, so she's not only going to be able to bring in money for herself, she's going to be able to bring in money for these county democratic organizations," said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Poll. "And that's going to play a significant role in determining who their top choice is going to be for the nomination."
