NY Party Shuffle

In NY a party needs 50,000 votes for Governor to get ballot status. Then the total vote determines your position on the ballot. With the Democrats and Republicans getting the top two positions, the next positions are very important.

A review of the 2010 NY vote as of last night came up with these numbers:

Conservative – 145,724
IP – 117,053
WFP – 108,886
GREEN – 57,703

These include NYC and 21 counties out of 57 that broke down the numbers by parties.

What hurt the IPNY was a rejection upstate to the State Chairman’s actions the last couple of years and downstate to a mixed message and voters selecting the WFP and not IP for Cuomo.

It could take till the end of November before all the votes are counted.

Update

The current number as of 11/8 is:

WFP - 138,615
IP - 136,581

In 2006 the numbers were:

IP – 190,661
Conservative – 168,654
WFP – 158,184
