Green Party targets downstate New York for next splash move
The change to ballot access laws in 2020 make gaining any high political office in New York an uphill battle. The changes came in a budget provision in the last year of the Andrew Cuomo administration increasing automatic ballot access to 2% or 130,000 votes whichever is higher in presidential and gubernatorial elections.

Albany’s Dem/GOP duopoly blocks third parties
New Yorkers filling out their ballots this year will notice something unusual: there are only two presidential candidates listed. In fact, New York has the dubious distinction of being the sole state in 2024 with only two presidential candidates on the ballot.
In a time when both Democratic and Republican parties loudly decry alleged voter disenfranchisement, New York has managed to suppress every alternative party and constrain voter choice. This is a serious form of voter suppression that has received almost no political attention, and it comes at a time when 58% of Americans polled by Gallup show support for a third political party.
