Hearing Set for Friday, August 16, in New York Case Over Separate Lines on Ballot for Unqualified Parties

The Upstate Jobs Party, a New York party that is not ballot-qualified, has some nominees in the 2019 local partisan elections. It has filed a lawsuit in State Supreme Court, Onondaga County, over the law that says its nominees can’t have their own square on the ballot if they are also the nominees of a qualified party. See this story. Unqualified parties do get their own square on the ballot for Governor and legislature, but not for most partisan office, when they nominate someone who is also the nominee of a qualified party.

The case is Upstate Jobs Party v Czarny, 7058-2019. Here is the Complaint.
