The New York Conservative Party, which has been ballot-qualified longer than any other party in the U.S. (other than the Democratic and Republican Parties) has mixed results in the 2016 election. For president it polled for its nominee Donald Trump 3.81%, which was the best percentage for the party for president since 1984.

However, for U.S. Senate in 2016, it only polled 3.61%, the worst for that office since 2004.

Past presidential percentages for the party have been: 2012 3.72%; 2008 2.24%; 2004 2.10%; 2000 2.12%; 1996 2.90%; 1992 2.56%; 1988 3.75: 1984 4.24%; 1980 4.13%; 1976 4.21%; 1972 5.14%. The party was ballot-qualified in 1964 and 1968 but it had no presidential nominee in those years. It wanted to cross-nominate the Republican nominee in both those years, but the Republican candidates for presidential elector in those years refused to accept the Conservative nomination.

On December 19, ten Connecticut legislators introduced a bill for Connecticut to join the National Popular Vote compact.

On December 19, the very day the electoral college voted, the Colorado Secretary of State set forth new regulations on how the meeting of the presidential electors in his state is to operate. The new regulations include the wording of an oath that each elector must take, or he or she won’t be recognized.

The new regulations were issued after a state court ruled that the Secretary of State could not enforce the new oath without a new regulation. See this story for more details about what happened on December 19 in Denver.
