State Democratic Party Passes Resolution to End Fusion Voting

March 12th, 2019

The state Democratic Party voted on a non-binding resolution to end fusion voting. Fusion voting is the practice of allowing minor parties to endorse and give a major party candidate their ballot line. The progressive caucus attempted to table the vote as the measure is facing strong opposition from the Working Families Party. The resolution was ultimately passed overwhelmingly. It is unclear if the ban on fusion voting has the support in the legislature to pass.
