According to this[0] New Jersey State Senate District 3 has an eligible population of around 176,344 (74.9% of total) in 2010. So roughly a 35.7% turnout (with a lot of assumptions and bad data). I wish turnout was higher just so candidates were more representative no matter who ultimately won. But realistically when a single person represents over 150K citizens, it is hard to call it very representative regardless.

Also has a very large unaffiliated voter base of 57,808 (36.5%). > The district had 158,476 registered voters as of July 1, 2021, of whom 57,808 (36.5%) were registered as unaffiliated, 57,660 (36.4%) were registered as Democrats, 40,620 (25.6%) were registered as Republicans, and 2,388 (1.5%) were registered to other parties. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jersey%27s_3rd_legislative_district https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jersey%27s_3rd_legislative...
