Working Families Party looks for new ballot position for Cynthia Nixon
https://nypost.com/2018/09/26/working-families-party-looks-for-new-ballot-position-for-cynthia-nixon/The Working Families Party has taken its first step to find a new ballot position for Cynthia Nixon in November, so it can move her off its line for governor and potentially give it to Gov. Cuomo.
The party filed papers to nominate Douglass Seidman — its placeholder candidate for the Assembly in Greenwich Village — for a judgeship.
That creates a landing space for Nixon, the WFP’s candidate for governor.
Under the state’s archaic election rules, the only way for Nixon to get off the WFP gubernatorial line is to die, move out of the state or run for another office.

Interesting.
