New York Might Get a New Ballot-Qualified Party, “Vote Affordable”

Posted on by October 7, 2026

Earlier this year, the Republican gubernatorial nominee in New York, Bruce Blakeman, arranged for a petition to qualify himself as the nominee of the “Vote Affordable” Party. Several other Republican candidates for for legislative office completed petitions under the same name for their own races as well.

It is possible Blakeman will receive a vote total on the Vote Affordable line equal to 2% or more of the vote cast for Governor. If he does, that party would become a qualified party.

New York Might Get a New Ballot-Qualified Party, “Vote Affordable” — 48 Comments

  1. Speaking of affordability, and since Nor The Bee links are still getting automatically memoryholed here, here is the article:

    Please allow Vox to explain “why abortion belongs in Democrats’ affordability message”

    Cardinal Pritchard

    Vox knows what Democrats need to run on:

    KILLING BABIES!

    @ vox

    The decision to carry and raise a child can shape every part of a person’s financial life. @JessicaValenti joins Vox’s @AsteadWH to explain why abortion belongs in Democrats’ affordability message and what the party misses when it treats reproductive rights as a social issue.

    Vox thinks the real reason people care about killing babies is inflation?

    Why not infanticide by this logic?

    They have looked at the last several election cycles, noticed that hammering voters over what they call “reproductive rights” didn’t deliver the blue wave they expected, and concluded that the problem was messaging — not the killing of the babies!

    These folks at Vox really are trying to argue that putting abortion into the “affordability” conversation is what they’ve been missing this whole time.

    Don’t have enough money to pay for rising prices? Kill your baby!

    Yeah, that’ll work!

    “What do you economic policies look like?”

    “Helping kill your children so you can save money on diapers”

    According to the clip, Democrats in 2024 supposedly over-indexed on “social and cultural issues,” and they need to pivot to economics in America’s Golden Age. Unfortunately, these progressives over at Vox think it’s cool to just move killing babies right on over from “social and cultural issues” to economic issues.

    Because, as they say at Vox apparently, nobody should be “forced into pregnancy.”

    I hope the Democrats stick to this messaging.

    We could really use it in the midterms!

  2. Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it. Demoncrats should make full taxpayer funded reproductive rights up to the 19th trimester, according to Sharia law, a cornerstone of our 2028 platform.

    Copying communist China’s former one baby per family policy, you must know we’ll get AOC selected, oops, I mean elected, POTUS. As she’s sworn in on J20, 2029, with strong demonic rodent majorities in both houses of congress, we will nuke the filibuster, expand and pack the courts, add new Dummycratic States, pay for the immediate and totally affordable importation of tens or maybe hundreds of millions of penniless turd world immigrants and give them immediate voting rights, lower the voting age to six, introduce affirmative action mandated partnering for dating and marriage, confiscate all children at birth for government education, take all your weapons including plasticware and whiffleball bats, and lots of other great stuff like that.

    Believe me, it’s going to be a lot of fun.

    And it’s not like you’re going to do anything at all to stop it, is it?

  3. NOOOO OVER-POPULATION PROBLEMS ???

    WARS FOR LIMITED ASSETS — ESP $$$ OIL IN WW I AND WW II

    MERE MASS DEATH AIR POLLUTION

    LAND / SEA FOOD LIMITS / ETC
    —
    THUS — CERTAIN PARTIES = LOOT THY NEIGHBORS TO THE MAX >>> SLAVERY, TOTAL OR MERE FINANCIAL [ NOOOO NET WORTHS FOR NON-RICH FOLKS = 80 PLUS PCT ]

  4. The actual problems facing the future will come from underpopulation, as reproduction continuously falls further and further behind replacement levels, first in well off countries and then everywhere else.

    Overpopulation was always an overhyped myth as technological progress and space colonization would have always solved any so called resource problems..

  6. As disreputable as pedophiles already are, we can’t afford to have our reputations soiled even further by being ass-posted with the crAZy AZerI Nazi AZ 666 SPAMBOT.

    THAT’S WHY it and its programmer, the devil worshipping islamofascist communist troll from Azerbaijan, have been repeatedly informed to cease and desist their nonstop posting of links to woke pedophile Wikipedia.

    Even though Wikipedia is nothing but a pack of fart left ridiculous lies, gang trolling, and propaganda posted by child predator scum, we still want nothing at all to do with the artificial anti-intelligence black hole which posts automated trash as the AZ SPAMBOT.

    ITS WHOLE MODUS OPERANDI is garbage in, worse garbage out, and somehow that’s possible even with the woke pedophile Wikipedia site.

  8. The AZ-666 spambot’s algorithms were last updated with information from the mid 20th century, when the boogeyman nonsense of “overpopulation” seemed like it might become an actual real world problem and the notion of “secret ballots” wasn’t yet made laughable by cell phone cameras on virtually everyone’s persons at all times and a large proportion of voters voting “absentee” – a practice that would make secret ballots a silly joke even if not for the changes in technology.

  10. Despite the fake news propaganda non stop lies aimed at getting Liberator Trump assassinated, if he had actually been a tyrant, the fake news propaganda outlets such as Yahoo Noose and USSR YESTERDAY and spambots such as the nAZi-666 would already be shut down.

    Only troll morons don’t know and understand this already.

  11. Will demon rats face problems as they increase the legal infanticide age and lower the legal voting age to the point where they cross each other and some kids become simultaneously eligible for affordable infanticide and voting?

  12. Q,

    Not necessarily. They will still be outvoted by those still above the legal infanticide age. They can also be convinced that it’s only fair and everyone has to do their part for affordability and to save the planet from imaginary overpopulation. Kids tend to believe their parents and teachers at that age.

  13. It’s not like it would even be without existing precedent.

    Canada already allows “assisted suicide” and “euthanasia,” which is not always necessarily voluntary, for people who are still eligible to vote.

    Many countries allow people who are eligible for mandatory military service or draft in wartime to vote.

    And so on.

  14. Real facts,

    Not only that, but a large percentage of American voters, including many White, biologically male, and even allegedly straight and Christian or Jewish voters keep voting for demon rats and our population replacement, feminazi matriarchy, gender bending, antisemitic, antichrist agenda.

    That’s suicidal on a national and group level.

  16. LOL. New York’s final chance has come and gone years, or probably decades, ago. There is zero chance of Republican victory there now.

    There might still be a chance for most other states to avoid the same fate.

    Maybe.

  17. Probably not, unless we somehow manage to get a state like Kalipornia or N.Y. – kalipornia being the best and most logical option – kicked out of the USA, or with divine intervention.

  18. I agree, of course, NY is screwed regardless. They’ve had way too much population replacement and woke indoctrination already to avoid their fate at this point.

    Even let’s say a Republican wins guv, which isn’t going to happen. There’s the state assembly, the judges, the unelected state bureau rats, the feds, NYC and many other locales local governments, the government employees unions and other parasite unions, the numerous leftard commie special interest groups, “non” governmental and international organizations, future elections…

    Long story short, yeah, they are screwed.

    Let’s pray that’s not all of us in a few short years or decades.

  19. Nothing about NY will be affordable ever again, and as long as they continue to have a say in it that goes for every other state too.

    This is the state that gives us, among other rats, comrade Imam MommyDoMe, Killary Klingon, comrade Hakeem Jeffries, Chuckie Schumer, comrade Alexandria Occasional Cortex, and many other demonic rodent scum. Comrade Burnout Sanders was born and raised there.

    The United abominations has its hq there.

    We could go on, but why bother?

    The imperialist state will do nothing but make trouble for the rest of the country and the rest of the world, as well as all who remain its tax victims, for the foreseeable future, regardless of any one election’s results.

    Folks with any sense, such as President Trump among many others, have already moved out, with Florida being the biggest but far from only beneficiary of New York’s brain drain.

    Meanwhile, the dregs of the turd world and a bunch of brainwashed woke (mostly) youngsters have moved in. Classic population replacement.

  20. Fred, for real, I don’t know where you live and I don’t care, but the fact is, the best chance for any remaining New York residents who are not parasites or severely retarded is not some gubernatorial white elephant, it’s a moving van headed to Florida. Or Texas. Or some other sane state, which means not any of its immediate neighbor states.

  21. No one election or election winner will save or doom the US or any US State. I’ll elaborate in my next comment, just in case anyone reads it and cares.

  22. For one thing, comrade Stalin told the truth – those who vote decide nothing, those who count the votes decide everything.

    But even if that wasn’t a factor in current USA elections, and it most certainly is a huge one, it’s also true that if voting changed much of anything, it would already be illegal. I don’t know who first said it, but I’ve heard it said by many, and I agree.

    The system of government is way too complicated, complex, convoluted, and confusing. It is that way intentionally.

    It has way too many system fail backups and contingency plans to allow any one person or even group of people to fix things (or screw them up much faster than planned, although that’s relatively easier).

    For those of you who expected, or still expecting, more fundamental changes from Trump as POTUS, or, God forbid, hoped for real changes from Obama, this is why it hasn’t happened, and won’t.

    I can say the same for all your minor parties and independent candidates.

    They are only good for entertainment, distraction, and minor, symbolic, and or temporary changes or victories from their perspectives. Not fundamentally changing anything important.

    The notion that any one human being can be good at managing something the size of the executive branch of the US federal government, or that of the state of NY, is touchingly naive.

    The only human who could have ever done well at anything like it was Jesus Christ, and he famously and wisely rejected the offer of earthly power over all of the world’s kingdoms at that time.

    If you want to give Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt, he naively thought he could actually do a lot more than he really can when he ran in 2016. Certainly, he wasn’t that naive in 2020 or 2024. Probably not in 2016, either. He had done too much in his life up til then, known too many people, to be that naive.

    He’s an entertainer. He’s good at that. Considerably less good as a businessman, given that his business efforts prior to politics yielded less than a stock market index fund.

    So, it’s more logical to think of his political career as an extension of his business and entertainment career than anything that was ever going to save America or any of the other slogans.

    As an extension of his business and entertainment career, it has been much more successful than on its own terms.

    Politics is a distraction – more like sports and entertainment, or some combination thereof. Professional wrestling is probably the closest modern real world parallel.

    Maybe that’s why Jesse Ventura was more successful than other minor party candidates at getting elected governor.

    Come to think of it, Donald Trump has done some professional wrestling entertainment, too.

  23. Secret ballots would be a terrible idea even if they were impossible in current practice for reasons other people explained above. If you are not the AZ SPAMBOT and don’t already know my answer, feel free to ask why I believe that.

  24. Blackman is either a rhino or has zero chance of winning, or possibly both.

    Plus what other people said about that.

  26. I’m an Afrikaner in spirit only.

    In reality, American of European and Asian descent. My only known African ancestors were long before recorded history. That is, in the sense that all of us have African ancestors, given that’s where humans originated.

    Blackman was Google “autocorrecting” Blakeman. Rhino is an intentional pun on RINO (Republican In Name Only).

    None of which changes the point of my previous comment.

  27. It’s absolutely impossible to tell if there are any meaningful comments here with all the spam from the mentally challenged nut jobs.

  28. It’s pretty easy to tell that the only mentally challenged nutjob commenting above has been Aiden, plus the AZ spambot which would be one if it was human and not just a computer program made to emulate the ultimate mentality challenged nutjon, while other people are having an interesting and intelligent conversation.

  29. HG,

    “The AZ-666 spambot’s algorithms were last updated with information from the mid 20th century, when the boogeyman nonsense of “overpopulation” seemed like it might become an actual real world problem and the notion of “secret ballots” wasn’t yet made laughable by cell phone cameras on virtually everyone’s persons at all times and a large proportion of voters voting “absentee” – a practice that would make secret ballots a silly joke even if not for the changes in technology.”

    It’s funny how the AZ-666 SPAMBOT simultaneously supports snail mail/absentee voting and “secret” ballots. Anyone trying to bribe or blackmail a voter can make that voter take a “ballot selfie ,” legal or not, or simply fill out the “absentee” ballot in front of them, or fill it out for the voter and have them sign it. Consistency is not its strong point, as we all know. Neither is learning anything from past discussion, which is why it’s an AZ, not an AI.

  30. Snake Plissken,

    “Fred, for real, I don’t know where you live and I don’t care, but the fact is, the best chance for any remaining New York residents who are not parasites or severely retarded is not some gubernatorial white elephant, it’s a moving van headed to Florida. Or Texas. Or some other sane state, which means not any of its immediate neighbor states.”

    100% agreed, good point.

  31. Stanley, I agree that expectations about Trump or any other POTUS or guv etc have to be tempered continuously.

    But, some important differences do exist.

    To take just one, an estimated 3 million illegal scumbag invaders have been deported or self deported in just the last 2.5 years, and virtually none have come in. Estimates are about 10 million cane in in 4 years under Biden. So, maybe 6 or 7 million more at that same clip had Herass won. A net difference of about 10 million. I would say that is significant.

    Perhaps an even more important difference is that had Killary Klingon or Cumalot Harass won, they would have been extremely likely to start a full scale nuclear war with Russia, killing most of us.

  32. Stanley

    “Secret ballots would be a terrible idea even if they were impossible in current practice for reasons other people explained above. If you are not the AZ SPAMBOT and don’t already know my answer, feel free to ask why I believe that.”

    I would if I didn’t already know, but mentally challenged nutjobs like AIden lack the intellectual curiosity to ask. Instead, they want to actively dissuade other readers from reading or participating in intelligent exchange of views. It’s not enough for them to be lazy, ignorant, close minded nimrods themselves – they must actively dissuade others from thinking outside the little box in which they desperately want to confine all permissible opinions.

  33. From context, however, I can tell you meant weren’t impossible, not were.

  34. A porn parody of the AIden and nAZi-666 Spambots would be extreme self harm retard fetish porn.

  35. The way I see it, it’s like a game of football where your team is down by a few scores, and it looks like it would take a miracle to win. Our team was demoralized and saw no hope. Trump gave our people hope.

    We are still way behind and the odds are still objectively against us, but now winning looks possible. It’s still uphill but no longer hopeless.

    Whereas for NY, it’s too late in the game. There is no plausibly scenario in which N.Y. doesn’t go down the turd world commie hellhole toilet. There just isn’t. And I’m generally an optimist if anything, but you have to be at least a little bit realistic.

  36. I presume that by our team You Can’t Spell means America (USA). If so, I agree.

    But I do have a general question for everyone here.

    Doesn’t adding “vote affordable” to the ballots just waste tax funded ink and paper, and actually make things even that little bit less affordable as a result?

    Does anyone here really believe Blakeman has a more realistic chance of winning due to this stunt?

    I know this is common practice in NY elections, it just seems stupid in this case.

  37. What goes through people’s heads?

    “I’d never vote Republican because they’re for rich people, but I’ll vote for the same exact guy because it says vote affordable, so it’s different”?

    “I’m actually too lazy/busy/slow to notice it’s the same guy”?

    “I see it’s the same name, maybe that’s just a coincidence”?

    “Yeah, I know it’s the same guy and everything, but this will let them know why I’m voting for him, so the state assembly and Hochul, since I’m not too stupid to think she will actually lose, will totally switch tracks and suddenly make NY affordable just because a few thousand of us sent a half-a-protest message vote”?

    “Screw it, I know it won’t make any difference, but look, I already bought a home in Florida, got my apartment listed, and I’m getting the last of my stuff moved by the end of the year, so why not”?

  38. Are villages all over Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe, and even the Australian Outback and remote Pacific islands missing their village idiots, because those idiots moved to New York and now vote in elections there?

  40. AIden James is not Robert Stock. They are two different kinds of especially stupid jerks.

  43. It might be confusing to you, like more than two parties or candidates on the ballot might be to some limited attention capacity voters. There are more than two people here and at related sites who hold a bunch of views that are very wrong. Shocking, I know.

  46. And still no.

    Richard Winger says it’s not banned, but posting The links does not actually work.

  47. If “Vote Affordable” qualifies, one of the parties that got bounced by Cuomo’s unfair election law should hvae its people register as Vote Affordable and take it over.
