New York holds primaries in June 2021 for local partisan office, including New York city offices. The petitioning period for primary candidates runs from February 23 to April 1. According to this newspaper story, many potential candidates are asking Governor Andrew Cuomo for a reduction in petitioning requirements, because the health crisis isn’t over. Thanks to Joe Burns for the link.
In 2019, the New York legislature moved the primaries for state and local office from September to June. New York wouldn’t be having this problem if the primary had remained in September.
Smarten up and charges fees in lieu of petition signatures. Why let a crisis go to waste?
NOOOO primaries.
Equal nomination petitions.
PR and AppV.
You like to eat pets equally?
Perhaps Demo Rep might want to consider adding periods next to abbreviated words, so folks don’t have an easy way to dismiss or insult his posts. “nom pets” in Demo Rep’s writing style is likely referring to “nominating petitions”.
As for the topic of Richard’s post, Cuomo has succeeded in utterly destroying NY’s previously relatively fair ballot access system. Maybe those folks who are trying to petition onto the primary ballot should consider allying themselves with the Green, Libertarian, and SAM Parties’ efforts to overturn King Cuomo’s decrees.
There is no health crisis. I had the Chinese virus as have a lot of other people I know. We all had seasonal flus that were worse before. It is being grossly exaggerated.

Genetics also plays an important role in the ability to fight off the disease. For instance, those that do not produce detectable type I interferons or produce auto-antibodies against these may get much sicker from COVID-19.[210][211] Genetic screening is able to detect interferon effector genes.[212]

Whether there is an actual crisis is beside the point. The perception of a crisis has created an opportunity to change things.
