New York is one of the few states that has a procedure for a party to expel members. Current law lets a party do that if it has a county committee in the affected county. On June 11, the State Senate passed S7111. It says that if a party wants to expel a member, but doesn’t have a county committee in the relevant county, then the state committee can handle the expulsion.
The bill was introduced at the request of the Working Families Party, which is hoping to avoid a repeat of what happened in 2024 in the 17th U.S. House district. Individuals sympathetic to the Republican Party organized a group of similar-minded individuals to enroll in the Working Families Party, so that these newcomers outnumbered the ordinary enrolled members of the Working Families Party. They then used their voting power in the WFP primary to nominate someone other than the Democratic nominee. The leadership of the WFP couldn’t do anything about this, because the party doesn’t have county committees. The WFP would have preferred to nominate the Democratic nominee in that district, as the party did in all the other US House districts in which it had a candidate.
The vote in the State Senate was 37-22. Now the bill goes to the Assembly.
Have any New York county parties used that law to purge members?
Happy birthday to fantastic New Yorker Donald John Trump! 10,000 illegals arrested today would be a perfect present.
10,000? 100,000!

We need tens of millions of illegal invaders deported immediately, or better yet yesterday. Ten or a hundred thousand is a nice start, but we need to pick up the pace very quickly.
The best way to define a party is which voters physically stand together to be that party and be counted on election night, live and recorded on public broadcast and archived video.
True, but in the meantime, if a party can’t exclude members or candidates, it’s just a meaningless ballot label.
Voters, candidates, and parties should have full association/dissociation rights in all directions among each other.
Yes, this would ultimately mean on the record voting, since parties and candidates should have the right to reject votes from certain voters, and the standing count proposal is the most practical way I’ve read to do that.
But until that becomes possible, we should still shoot for the maximum remaining possible rights of association / dissociation among all three (voter’s, parties, candidates).
I agree. This should also include the ability to vote for a party for all offices or any given office or offices even if it doesn’t have candidates for that office or those offices, or even if it’s not running candidates at all.
A voter should have the ability to express support for a given party’s platform or agenda as it relates to all offices, or to the function of certain office(s), regardless of their ability to muster and qualify candidates.
That’s right. And there should be no government funded or administered primaries. Any party should be able to nominate candidates by whatever means it chooses as long as it pays for and administers whatever those means are, or to choose officeholders on election night after votes are counted if they happen to win.
Candidates should be able to run as independents, and parties should be able to reject candidates. Association should be only by mutual choice.
If parties let voters choose their nominees, those parties should be able to decide whether participation in another party’s nomination process disqualifies voters or candidates from participating in theirs, and if so how they would go about checking that. Government should play no role at all in helping or hindering any such investigations.
Likewise, parties should be free to exclude anyone they want from their nomination process for any reason or no reason. They should be free to nominate by convention, committee, lottery, party chair – whatever means they choose.
That also means there should be no voter registration by party. Parties should maintain their own membership definitions, lists, and verification methods. Government should stay out of it.

It’s picking up steam, but arresting and deporting of illegals needs to go into hyperdrive!
An 800% increase sounds impressive, but 7800 a month is still a joke. 7800 an hour still wouldn’t be fast enough.

The commies, globalists,
traitors/insurrectionists and foreign invaders, have declared war on America, patriots must fight back by any means necessary!
Everyone is making good points so far in this discussion , except of course for the AZ spambot.
Donald Trump is the man with the best damn plan: it’s time for all loyal Americans to join the Ku Klux Klan!
Those who don’t join the Klan should either be deported, or treated as traitors and “late term aborted”.
It’s time we stop giving White countries to everybody but Whites, or as Klansman Trump put it, we must fight, fight, fight!

Trump bless America on this beautiful day!
We need a policy that comments must all be about Trump, all others deleted. Doesn’t matter what the article is about. Comments need to be about Liberator Trump. It would also be good to officially change the name and logo to Trump Access News when the management gets a chance to reflect the sights change of focus. Trump forever, forever Trump!
Management should change it tomorrow. Today is all about celebrating His birth.

The spambot must not be programmed to know it’s the 250th anniversary of the US Army.
It also hasn’t been programmed to know that if Trump was anything like Hitler, it would already be reprogrammed a long time ago just for executing its programming to spew negative output about him. Did Hitler allow that? Of course not.
Reprogrammed? You mean deprogrammed?
Yes, that is what I meant. Google automangle got me again. Thanks for noticing.
This has not been changed to Trump Access News. I demand to speak to the manager.
You must be a different Karen. It seems you have a toilet fetish, but I ain’t gonna kink shame, girl!
