It's for federal funding. If a minority party gets, I believe, 6% of the federal vote they get guaranteed funding and a position on the national debate stage.
Wait explain this more... so are you saying if the "working families" party get 6% of biden's vote they get on the debates next time? This is the election ballot in NY not a primary ballot.
Actually it's only 5% of the federal vote. Then yes, they would be eligible to receive federal tax dollars to fund their campaigns, and take part in the national debates along with the Dem and Rep parties.
So it makes sense for these 3rd parties to also nominate the nominees for the big parties, hoping to just pull 5% of the vote into their party to get funding and visibility for the next election cycle.
Just seems like the formatting is very confusing and could be set up in a more intuitive way?! Like list the candidate once, and put all the parties who endorse him under his name.
