The '''Independence Party of New York''' is a [[third party]] in [[New York]]. It usually nominates either the Democrat or Republican for Governor so it can get 50,000 votes and maintain automatic ballot access. However, unlike other [[electoral fusion]] parties in New York, the Independence Party frequently endorses its own candidates for other offices. Before 2008, where it nominated Republican [[John McCain]] for President, the IP typically would endorse a third or minor party candidate. For instance, in 2004 it endorsed [[Ralph Nader]], in 2000 it endorsed [[John Hagelin]], and in 1996 it endorsed [[Ross Perot]]. <ref>[http://www.ballot-access.org/2012/09/17/new-york-independence-party-decides-to-nominate-no-one-for-president]</ref>
The most notable candidate to run exclusively in the IP line is [[New York City]] mayor [[Michael Bloomberg]], who was re-elected in 2009 without the nomination of either the Democrats or Republicans.
