Unorganized Political Parties
In light of the state election law regarding the organization of a political party, most minor political parties do not go through the official process to become organized but some of them are still active and will endorse some candidates for office.
Even when a third party does become formally recognized by the State, it is still very difficult for them to have their candidates included on the election ballot, due to some tricky primary election rules.
In 2009, the democratic socialist Liberty Union Party came into existence, although it has not yet run candidates.
