" New York voters who dislike the Democrat or Republican candidates for governor have traditionally been able to cast their ballots for a long-shot candidate from any number of so-called third parties...But this year, for the first time in over 75 years, the state ballot appears destined to offer only two choices: Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, and Representative Lee Zeldin, a Republican."

" The paucity of options is largely due to former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who championed changes in election law two years ago that made it far more difficult for third parties to get on the ballot. The changes to ballot access law tripled the number of voter signatures required for groups to get on the November ballot and forced political parties to qualify every two years instead of four."

Don't you (Hochul) think it is hypocritical of the Democratic Party to ardently promote the danger to democracy posed by MAGA Republicans and Trump yet under your leadership and the past governorship, Democrats have attempted to gerrymander by trying to include a highly liberal area to NYC's sole republican district, and Democrats having blindsided voters who neither identify with the Democrats or Republicans by obstructing third parties from competing in the governorship?
