The Reform Party Lost Ballot Access
In order for a party to be able to stay on the ballot, at least 50,000 people had to vote in the gubernatorial election on the Reform Party line. Only 26,000 votes were received on the Reform Party line so they lost the ability to be on the ballot next time. Many people think The Reform Party died on November 6, 2018, but if you watched Curtis Sliwa for awhile, you know he isn’t going to give up on this.
I think the Reform Party should dispute this in court as the ballot was hard to handle, difficult to open and flipping it also made many people nervous that they weren’t going to do it correctly and vote, so people may not have voted on the correct line for their candidate.
All five minor political parties didn’t perform as well as 2014 – so the ballot could have had something to do with it:
- Conservative Party 250,00 (in 2014) to 238,000 (in 2018).
- The Working Families Party 126,000 to 105,000
- Independence Party 77,000 to 63,000.
- Women’s Equality Party (WEP) 53,000 to 25,000 – they also lost ballot access
