Of those, 134,158 are newly registered Democrats, 41,950 Republicans and 454,711 are unaffiliated. The remaining 693 registered under third parties.
The Garden State also has received a record 287,475 absentee ballot applications.

More from 1010WINS:
Heavy voter turnout caused long lines at polling locations across New Jersey, and state officials reported an "extraordinarily'' high number of voters being turned away because of registration problems.
The state Public Advocate's Office said many voters were being turned away from the polls because they were told they aren't registered.
There also were scattered problems with voting equipment, and a judge rejected a request to extend polling hours in one of New Jersey's largest counties.
Carmine Casciano, the superintendent of elections in Essex County, said 14 machines had to be replaced countywide Tuesday morning, half of the them due to poll worker error.
At least three machines were down in Newark, one in Millburn and one in Caldwell. The rest of the problems were scattered throughout both urban and suburban voting districts. Casciano said some poll workers inadvertently turned machines off while they were running because they were unsure how to operate them.
The other machines had to be replaced due to unspecified malfunctions, Casciano said. All polling sites were working properly by early afternoon.
The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey reported that some voters in Hudson, Camden, Essex, Mercer, Middlesex and Monmouth counties were improperly asked to provide identification in order to vote. The ACLU has 175 volunteer poll monitors and attorneys available to assist voters at most county courthouses.
ACLU New Jersey director Deborah Jacobs said voters should only be asked for ID if they are voting for the first time at a polling place and did not provide it when they registered.
Jacobs also said her offices received complaints of poll workers distributing emergency ballots when they should be handing out provisional ones to voters whose names didn't make the printed rolls in time.

Re: Hornet Montana....isn't it funny how they always tell us that half the country votes, people don't take advantage of their right to vote, etc....yet when people turn out in higher numbers than they are used to the system crashes because of overload? No, America is not ready for change. A lot of rich white people worked very hard to get it the way it is today..

Wes:
Doc - they count, of course, but not in the big picture, they were all local California issues...and what really changed? Dianne Feinstein became powerful in CA politics...big deal. The Moscone/Milk "riot" wasn't even really a riot...it was just a protest that got out of hand. Perhaps Revolution would be a better choice of words for first post. As far as Homeland Security goes, screw 'em. Their image of all-seeing, all-powerful presence is a facade. We can only hope the next president abolishes that fiasco. Doubt it though.
