Republican Governor-elect Chris Christie greets supporters on election night at his headquarters in Parsippany, New Jersey. Republican Chris Christie has been elected the next governor of New Jersey, defeating Democrat Jon Corzine to become the first member of his party elected to statewide office in the Garden State in 12 years. Christie won with 49 percent of the vote to Corzine's 44 percent.
The absence of a ticket system also opens the possibility that governor and lieutenant governor will be of different political parties, as happened in November 2002, when Republican Sonny Perdue won election as governor and Democrat Mark Taylor won reelection as lieutenant governor.
