New York Working Families Party Likely to Have Received More Votes for Governor than Independence Party
November 8th, 2010This year, both the New York Working Families Party, and the New York Independence Party, cross-endorsed Andrew Cuomo for Governor. Cuomo, of course, was also the Democratic nominee and appeared on the ballot in three places. The election night results show that Cuomo received 138,615 votes on the Working Families Party, and 136,581 on the Independence Party line. If the ballots that are still uncounted do not reverse that ratio, the Working Families Party will be on the 4th line on New York ballots between 2011 and 2014, and the Independence Party will be on the 5th line. Thanks to Dan Levitan for this news.

Dan, I was only able to get some of the detail party break downs for party votes and had the following numbers as of today:
CON – 145,724
IP – 117,053
WFP – 108,886
Where did you get your numbers?

The numbers in comment #1 were based on returns from only about half the counties. The new information is based on returns from all the counties.
