Unofficial vote totals at the New York State Board of Elections website show that the Conservative Party polled 5.31% of the vote for Governor. It nominated Lee Zeldin, the Republican nominee. That is the Conservative Party’s best showing for the office at the top of the ballot (Governor, President) since 2014, when it got 6.57%.
The Working Families Party, which nominated Democratic nominee Kathy Hochul, got 4.33%, which is not quite as high as the party’s presidential showing in 2020, which was 4.49%.
I wonder how many of those 9,618 write-in votes were for Libertarian Larry Sharpe? The total write-in vote for Governor was 0.17% and the county with the highest percentage of write-in votes was Madison County with 0.37% in the center of New York state.
New York shoudl repeal Cuomo’s so-called “election reform” and go back to the way it was.
