There will likely be a new ballot line in Suffolk County and the rest of New York State as a result of last month’s election: the elimination of several minor parties that have for many years automatically gained ballot presence.
There is litigation pending in federal court to overturn this. But legal experts we’ve spoken to say the litigation brought by the Libertarian and Green Parties is unlikely to succeed. And if it doesn’t, they and the Independence Party will lose automatic ballot presence. They can get back on the ballot through a petition process, but this is difficult, especially on a statewide basis.
