Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s New York Petition Uses “We the People”, Which May Create a New Qualified Party in November in New York

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s New York petition shows that his ballot label in New York is “We the People.”  That means, if he gets on the New York ballot and polls 2% or more of the vote for president, the We the People Party will be ballot-qualified for 2025 and 2026 elections.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s New York Petition Uses “We the People”, Which May Create a New Qualified Party in November in New York — 16 Comments

  1. Well, I think they have a chance to poll the required 2% to remain ballot-qualified for the elections of ’25 and ’26.

  2. Will Trump get a 2nd line as l.p. In N.Y. And keep them on for 26? A way for TRUMP and LP to help each other since it’s a fusion state. Like ct next door.

  3. Libertarian Party Bylaws do not allow fusion candidacies with other parties for President/ Vice President. States may fuse for other offices. See Article 5.

  4. Can I write that party in on a registration form now and be enrolled in it for ’25?

  5. They won’t count an enrollment like that until it has been on the ballot in the Nov 2024 election.

  6. Bylaws can be changed at conventions. Y’all have one coming up in 3 weeks. No biggie on bylaw

  7. Maybe Larry Sharpe will run for Governor of New York in 2026 as a We The People Party candidate if the Libertarian Party can’t get ballot access there.

  8. Is the April BAN newsletter coming soon. I’m waiting with baited breath

  9. @D. Frank Robinson

    The bylaws do not prohibit states or the national party from nominating a member who has been nominated for the same office by another political party. In regards to presidential election, state affiliates both place a name of a candidate on the ballot and submit a list of electors for the electoral college for whom voters vote for.

    Article 5 section 4 reads (in part): “No affiliate party shall endorse any candidate who is a member of another party for public office in any partisan election.”

    It is not unusual for state affiliates to place a different name or none at all for president that is different than those nominated at national convention. Thanks for bring this up.

  10. California has primaries. Their just open primaries where everyone votes in the same primary instead of their party primary. It’s kind of weird but it works.
