    I should clarify that
        the Ohio SOS may
          well take a different view, so this isn't a guarantee, but a
          solid basis for a
            legal challenge
              if the SOS disagrees.
    Apologies for not
                making that
                  clear when
                    I forwarded the original message.

   Subject: LPO's status

   Remember that ORC 3501(F), which defines political parties in Ohio,
   states in subsection (2)(b) that "[a] newly formed political party
   shall be known as a minor political party until the time of the first
   election for governor or president which occurs not less than twelve
   months subsequent to the formation of such party, after which election
   the status of such party shall be determined by the vote for the office
   of governor or president."
   The first election for governor or president that occurs "not less than
   twelve months subsequent to the formation" of the LPO in August of 2018
   will be the 2020 presidential election.  The 2018 gubernatorial
   election occurred less than 12 months after the formation of the party.
   As we discussed previously, this provides the LPO two chances to win 3%
   of the vote, which is what parties receive when they first meet the
   vote test.  E.g., Green Party which met the vote test in 2014.
