Before this vote the position of the minor party’s was Independence, Conservative, Working Family, and Green.
So how do we explain this repositioning of the minor party’s?
Conservatives
They were able to coop the Tea Party small government, less tax, and reduce the deficit mantra.
Working Family
They benefited from the Independence Party’s failures and a big input of Democratic money.
Independence
Their NYC message was mixed and confusing:
This year there are two ways to beat the Democrats without voting for a Republican: Vote for Charles Barron on Column J (Freedom Party) OR Vote for Andrew Cuomo on Column C (Independence Party). Upstate was a State Chairman rebuke.
NYC Wins When Everyone Can Vote!

Since you are mentioning the gubernatorial vote total, you might as well add the other parties that were on the ballot.
Good Idea. So I added all the party's votes.
