Reform Party Convention Postpones choosing nominee for a week

"The Reform Party national convention of July 30 has voted to postpone the choice of a presidential
nominee until August 8. The party is likely to nominate the presidential candidate who has qualified for the most state ballots by then.
Even though the new national chair of the Reform Party (effective January 1, 2017) is from New York, it appears the ballot-qualified Reform Party of New York will not place the nominee chosen by the national convention on the New York ballot. The New York Reform Party feels obliged to nominate Donald Trump for President. This is partly because the origin of the New York Reform Party in 2014 was with Republican Party activists, who put the party on the 2014 ballot with the name “Stop Common Core Party.” After it got over 50,000 votes for Governor in 2014, it changed its name to the Reform Party. The Republican activists who created the party in New York in 2014 still have some sway over the party." IPR
