I am from Somerset County, NJ and I am shocked Sussex County was once a Dem stronghold. Its as conservative as a county as the Deep South US is as a whole. Must have been the realignment of the political parties in the 1980's-early to mid 90's that Sussex County went Republican. There is nothing in Sussex County its the boonies(alot of farms) except for car dealerships and a few food places.
I know Sussex County had Matthew J. Rinaldo Andrew Maguire as its US Representative in the US House before Marge Roukema(a Moderate Republican)came along and beat Rinaldo Maguire in the 1980 Republican Wave.
