On January 14, New York State Senator Mark Walczyk (R-Watertown) introduced S 1870, to ease the definition of a political party and to ease the number of signatures for a statewide independent candidate, or the nominee of an unqualified party. Here is the text.
The bill also moves the petition deadline from May to August, and allows twelve weeks instead of the current six weeks.
The bill defines a qualified party as one that polled 50,000 votes for President and Governor.
It is believed that the same bill will soon be introduced in the Assembly by Assemblymember Ken Blankenbush, who is also a Republican.

COMMIE JO B LOVES CUBA COMMIES
ONE MORE THING FOR TRUMP TO REVERSE
I can already hear Skoufash and Gov. Hochul Working feverishly to kill this bill and thus prevent the restoration of something resembling free and fair elections in NY. Here’s hoping, perhaps foolishly, that they fail and this passes.
Nope. Do 100 signatures and 1,000 votes.
Petitions can start in November of year before.
Don’t tie qualified party status to votes for president.
Independents can qualify for future elections with votes, too.
That’s already a compromise.
