New York Election Day Preview, Future of Minor Parties

On this week's edition of New York NOW: We'll get a preview of what to watch on Election Day from Karen DeWitt from New York State Public Radio and Joe Spector from the USA Today Network.

Then, the future of minor parties in New York hangs in the balance in this year's elections. Parties will now have to get more than double the votes they had to before to automatically qualify for the ballot in the next election cycle.

Conservative Party Chair Gerard Kassar says he's not worried about his party meeting the new threshold, partly because of new energy for the party from President Donald Trump.

But The Working Families Party could have a tougher time meeting the new requirement. Sochie Nnaemeka from the state Working Families Party joins us to discuss the party's future and what they're doing to turn out the vote.
