The Liberal Party of New York was ballot-qualified 1946 through 2002. It went off the ballot in November 2002 because its gubernatorial nominee, Andrew Cuomo, only polled 15,761 votes in November, and New York state law requires at least 50,000 votes for a party to retain its place on the ballot.
Even though the Liberal Party has not been ballot-qualified for over ten years, it still exists, and it plans to petition to place John Catsimatidis on the November ballot for Mayor of New York city. Catsimatidis is also running in the Republican primary for Mayor. See this story. Thanks to Richard Grayson for the link.
Cool, I didn’t know they were still around.
This epitomizes why they collapsed as a political party in NY. And I once was a big supporter
Maybe there’s a chance for the Right To Life Party.
