1. Fringe political nuttery, nothing to do with independence

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_Party_of_New_York

Surviving state parties of the Independence Party of America include: the Minnesota Independence Party, Independence Party of Florida, and Independence Party of New York State....

The unexpectedly strong showing of Ross Perot in the 1992 U.S. presidential election raised the profile of political independents in the country and led to centrist political parties in many states. The Independence Party (IP) of New York was founded in 1991, but rose to prominence in the 1992 election. It achieved ballot status in New York in 1994. The Independence Party affiliated with the Reform Party of the United States, which was directly founded by Perot in 1995, and broke off from that party in 2000.

edit: And why Florida? He's from Detroit, and lives in Baltimore.

3. A Splinter from the Reform party.

I remember reading like 5 years ago that it was the number 3 party in Florida, because people were accidentally registering as Independence Party, when they really wanted No Party Affiliation.
