On August 17, the New York Conservative Party nominated Donald J. Trump for President. The state convention was in Jericho, in Nassau County. Thanks to Independent Political Report for this news.
The Conservative Party was a ballot-qualified party starting in 1962, making it the oldest continuously-qualified minor party in any state. It has always nominated whomever the Republican Party nominated for president, except in 1964, when the Republican Party refused to allow its presidential elector candidates to accept the nomination of the Conservative Party. Therefore, in 1964 the Conservative Party had no presidential nominee on the ballot.
The Working Families Party nominated Kamala Harris on July 25, even before the Democratic Party had nominated her. The Working Families Party has always nominated the Democratic Party presidential nominee.
Yawn.

END OF ALL LIFE VIA PLASTICS ???
Wasn’t the party founded because the New York GOP was not deemed sufficiently conservative?
So then what’s the point if they always co-nominate the Republican presidential tickets, no matter how “progressive”, i.e. regressive, those are?
Sure, they make their own nominations for other offices. But they could do that without making any presidential nomination.
Like, presumably New York allows parties to maintain ballot access via gubernatorial elections. Or they could re-qualify via petition.
Alternatively, they could just nominate their own candidate whenever the GOP nominates a regressive…
I have no idea who is currently running the party. However Michael Long was a good friend. It was back in 1964 Michael Long called Robert F. Kennedy. SR. A “carpetbagger” from Virginia.
Therefore, unlike the AIP of CA that party would not have given Bobby Kennedy Jr. a ballot line to avoid the problem with the so-called “sham
Residents”. Still remember year 1965 in New York when you could get at at Nathan’s at Conney Island a hot dog and short beer for only 65 cents.
