According to this story, New York Assemblywoman Rebecca Seawright, who was removed from the 2020 Democratic primary ballot over a paperwork error, will run as an independent this year if she can’t get back on the Democratic primary ballot. She will also bring a lawsuit.
How many other parties are running for her seat?
She should run as a Libertarian!
It’s too late for her to run as a Libertarian. The Libertarian Party is ballot-qualified and in New York all ballot-qualified parties nominate by primary.
No one is on the ballot for her seat at this moment except for the Republican.
Why would she run as a libertarian? Is that her ideology?
@BL,
She also flubbed up her Working Families designation form. There is a Republican running. The district on the Upper East Side is 60% D, 22% blank, 15% R, 3% Independence.
A quirk of NY election law is that designating petitions requires signatures based on party registration. A Libertarian would require 5 signatures, a Workin Families 3.
Another quirk is that New York always permits write-in, but doesn’t put uncontested primaries on the ballot, unless there is an Opportunity To Ballot petition.
Since there are zero Democratic and Working Families candidates they won’t have a primary and won’t have a nominee.
Seawright’t website is under reconstruction, perhaps removing the Donkey pictures.
