Article does not have any real sourcing and there is no evidence that this state party has any elected officers or that it been mentioned in a non-trivial way in reliable sources. It is also defunct. Toa Nidhiki05 01:43, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

- Comment While the article appears to be improved on the surface, I don’t think the sources added qualify as significant, non-trivial coverage. Most of them are the number of registered voters - which is an acknowledgement that a party exists, not significant coverage - as well as several sources for lawsuits filed by the party. However, they are not independent coverage, but public records of the filed lawsuits. Sources 21 and 22 are press releases of the party - self-published sources. There are a few articles from the New York Times covering it as a local matter and more of an oddity than anything, but I don’t think those qualify - and regardless, there’s been no coverage since the 1996 election, where they failed to elect any candidates and received only a small percentage of the vote. I just don’t think this qualifies as substantial, non-trivial coverage: the reporting was more so on the quixotic nature of third parties in general imo. Toa Nidhiki05 15:13, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
- Keep I'm finding tons more information about this party (which I previously had never heard of) via Newspapers.com. This topic is proving to meet GNG. I'm including relevant histories and references now... those interested in building the page may find additional information in the free access clippings I'm adding to all my references.
