If New York Proposal to Change Definition of Political Party Had Been in Effect in 2018, Twelve Legislative Districts that Actually Offered a Choice of Candidates Would Have Been One-Candidate Elections

If the proposal of the New York Campaign Finance Commission had been in effect in 2018, the only ballot-qualified parties would have been Democratic, Republican, and Conservative.

In that case, there are twelve legislative elections from 2018 that actually had a choice of candidates, but would have been one-candidate elections with the proposal in place. For the State Senate, they would have been these districts: 13, 16, 20, and 62. For Assembly, they would have been: districts 39, 40, 61, 62, 63, 76, 114, and 139.

  1. NOOOO chance for minorities in 85 plus pct of rigged gerrymander districts.

    PR and AppV and TOTSOP

  2. SD-13 and SD-20 were rematches of quite competitive Democratic primaries where IDC incumbents were defeated, and then ran as Independence in the general and were handily beaten. They might have won under Top 2 where they could appeal to all voters.

    Incidentally, you missed SD-17.

    Most of the AD were really lopsided. 80:20 would be a nailbiter relatively speaking. The Libertarian candidate in AD-139 was a petition candidate.
