Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is slamming a proposal from the New York State Democratic Party that would essentially crush the chances of almost any third party to get a spot on the ballot in the next election.

The proposal, which came from party chairman and key Cuomo-ally Jay Jacobs, would require a political party to secure 250,000 votes in order to be on the ballot.

The move would have the most negative impact on the Working Families Party (WFP), whose relationship with Gov. Cuomo has soured over the years and was further strained by their endorsement of Cynthia Nixon for governor in the 2018 Democratic primary.

The Working Families Party recently endorsed Warren in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary.

“This proposal comes from, of all places, a commission meant to improve our democracy. But attacking the

@NYWFP is deeply undemocratic—and it will only benefit Republicans,” the presidential hopeful wrote on Twitter Tuesday, adding, “No Democrat should allow this to pass.”

Currently, a party only needs 50,000 votes for its candidate for governor to gain a spot.

Jacobs sent a private email to a group of state commissioners who were reviewing New York election laws where he proposed raising the number to roughly 250,000, according to The New York Times.

The party chairman has long been a vocal opponent of fusion voting, the electoral system allowing for state candidates to run on multiple party’s ballots, and rumors have swirled in Albany that Cuomo would like to put an end to the practice after WFP’s Nixon endorsement.

Cuomo, who denied having a position on the proposal at an unrealted press conference Tuesday, defended the desire for such a policy.

“You do have some clear issues,” he said, adding,”If you have seven political parties in the state and you go to public financing, which is the goal, you could potentially be financing 1000 candidates per election cycle, right? Seven parties, couple of hundred candidates statewide.

“The public could be financing 1,000 races, which is absolutely politically and economically not feasible.”

In July, WFP and the state Conservative Party separately filed lawsuits against Cuomo and the Democratic Party, accusing them of conspiring to rid the state of them through the creation of a special commission.

The commission is set to release their recommendations the day before Thanksgiving.

In response to the controversy, Cuomo said, “This is politics on steroids and everyone has their own politics and their own advantages, and they’re trying to maximize their political advantage and disadvantage their opponent.”
