Tea Party Candidate for New York Governor Removed from Ballot

Last week, a New York state court removed Steven Cohn from the New York ballot.  He had filed to be on the November ballot as the gubernatorial candidate of the Tea Party.

As a result, there are seven candidates for Governor on the ballot, listed here in the order in which they appear on the ballot:  Andrew Cuomo (Democrat, Independence, Working Families); Carl Paladino (Republican, Conservative, Taxpayers); Howie Hawkins (Green); Jimmy McMillan (Rent is 2 Damn High); Warren Redlich (Libertarian); Kristin Davis (Anti-Prohibition) and Charles Barron (Freedom).  Carl Paladino’s Taxpayer Party line is at the bottom of the ballot.  Thanks to Mark Dunlea for the order of candidates on the ballot.  The earlier version of this post was incorrect about the ballot order.

Tea Party Candidate for New York Governor Removed from Ballot — 5 Comments

  1. New York has no limit on how many nominations from qualified parties a candidate can have. It is common for some candidates for Justice of the Supreme Court to be the nominee of 4 or even all 5 qualified parties. There is only a limit on how many nominations from unqualified parties a candidate may have.

  2. Does it take a majority of votes (50.1%) or just a plurality to win. If the latter, thies fiel favors Cuomo.
