Voters could see 12 ballot lines for governor

By DAVID KLEPPER, The Associated Press

New York voters could see as many as 12 parties putting up candidates for governor this fall, including the familiar major parties and some returning long-shots like the Rent is Too Damn High Party.

Six independent parties filed petitions before last week's deadline to join the state's six official parties on the November ballot for governor. Formal objections are due this week from individuals who don't believe the parties belong on the ballot, according to the state's Board of Elections.
