Green Party Likely to Secure Ballot Line in New York

Green Party gubernatorial candidate Howie Hawkins looks like a lock to secure the 50,000 votes needed to make the Greens a qualified party in New York State.

With 60% of the votes counted, Hawkins has just under 40,000 votes.

Libertarian candidate Warren Redlich is also within striking distance, though his task appears a bit harder.  He’s just short of 30,000 votes at this time.

Despite his amusing debate performance, the Rent is Too Damn High Party’s candidate, Jimmy McMillan, does not appear to be able to win enough votes to qualify his party.
