re: Maine

 

Yes, just as California checks, and all the other states where we stay on
because of our registration total...Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware,
Oregon.  But registration is fairly static, and it's very rare for it to
decline when that states uses a voter registration form that mentions us.
Libertarian registration slowly goes up and up just about everywhere, as
long as we continue to be listed on the form.  It only declines in
Massachusetts, where we went off the form in 2010 and have not ever
re-qualified.

 

When the Green Party finally got its own checkbox on the voter registration
form, their registration shot up from 2,152 in November 2000, to 13,272 in
November 2002.  It has been rising every since, because in all these years
they have been the only ballot-qualified third party.  In November 2014 it
was an incredible 38,180.

I asked our resident ballot access expert, Richard Winger.

 

As you can see from his answer above, the answer to Mr. Olsen's question is
probably forever.

It would be helpful if, at the Executive Committee meeting, someone could
comment with some authority on the duration of the ballot access which is to
be achieved by this effort.  That is, is it not likely that with success
here, we are likely to enjoy ballot access for one or several future
election cycles as well?

 

Dr. Lieberman: Can you help out here?
