On June 30, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo issued an executive order setting petition requirements for 2020 independent candidates and the nominees of unqualified parties. Statewide petitions will require 30,000 signatures, to be collected starting July 1 and ending July 30. That is considerably more difficult than any previous requirements in the history of the state. Between 1992 and 2018, the statewide petition was 15,000 signatures, with a collection period of six weeks.
The proclamation makes no provision for electronic signatures.
U.S. House petitions need 2,450 signatures. Thanks to Joe Burns for this news.
Both major parties just keep moving the goal posts for independent and third party candidates. Sooner or later, they will make it difficult for even a weaker major party to stay on the ballot, and effectively turn their state into a one party state. Masaachusetts is practically at that point now.
TOTAL legislative power now in the NY TYRANT Guv ??? —
See Hitler 1933-1945.
Who is the worse EVIL LAWLESS Tyrant –
Trump or Cuomo ???

PR and APPV — pending Condorcet.
TOTSOP
This is so difficult it is tyrannical. This alone is reason enough to remove Cuomo from office.
So Cuomo can dictate this simply based off an executive order? That doesn’t seem lawful and I suspect lawsuits will be filed pretty soon over this
BC-
see the recent Commiss case —
means ZERO to Tyrants — who only understand FORCE ???
See DEAD Tyrant Mussolini hanging APR 1945.
Is there a lawsuit?
