Carl Paladino, gubernatorial candidate of the Taxpayer Party of New York, filed 30,000 signatures on August 10, the first day on which petitions for the general election may be submitted. 15,000 are required. Paladino is permitted to supplement that filing in the following week, and he expects to do so. He is also running in the Republican gubernatorial primary in September.
The New York petition deadline is August 17. Paladino insists that he will also win the Republican primary. He has been ambivalent about whether he will withdraw as the Taxpayer Party candidate if he doesn’t get the Republican nomination.
