On August 17, the New York Libertarian Party submitted over 30,000 signatures for its statewide petition. The requirement is 15,000. August 17 is the deadline. The party also submitted petitions for four U.S. House candidates, the most in its history.
What is the usual number of signatures for independent candidates in New York?
30,000 is pretty good. I wish I knew what the number for the LP was in 2006. I think most serious candidacies do roughly 25,000.
