2010 New York gubernatorial election
The 2010 New York gubernatorial election was held on Tuesday, November 2, 2010. Incumbent Democratic governor David Paterson, who was elected as lieutenant governor in 2006 as the running mate of Eliot Spitzer, and became governor in 2008 following Spitzer's resignation, initially ran for a full term but withdrew in February 2010. Democratic New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo defeated Republican Carl Paladino to become the next governor of New York. Cuomo dominated downstate New York and won a majority of upstate counties, while Paladino did well in his home region of Buffalo, winning Democratic-leaning Erie County. The results of New York's gubernatorial elections are used to decide which parties receive automatic ballot access and in what order the parties are listed on the ballot. Parties whose candidates for governor receive over 50,000 votes on that party's line receive automatic ballot access for the next four years until the next gubernatorial election. This rule applies regardless...
