  1. It isn’t enough that New York wants to shut down all minor parties. They want to limit severely the number of major party candidates that run, as well. All to save money on their scheme to subsidize Democratic Party candidates? Why not save money on both campaigns and elections, and just declare as elected whichever candidates turn in the most signatures for any position?

  2. New York –
    why have ANY elections ??? —

    just a tyrant POLL ??? —

    What 666 LAWLESS TYRANT do you want to totally control ALL life, liberty and property in New York State ???

    New poll when the LAWLESS TYRANT passes on — by murder, old age, etc. see Roman Empire killers 27 BC – 476 AD.

  3. Seriously, major party candidates should only have to submit petitions in lieu of filing fees.
