I agree that the claims you mention sound misleading at best. But let's not assume it isn't an honest mistake. Whoever is writing copy for the campaign may not be as well versed in ballot access matters as yourself and some other members of the LP are. I feel like I've seen similar claims about the consequences of receiving 5% of the vote made by media outlets, so I'm not sure we can be clear where the rumor is coming from. Have you responded to the campaign emails in question with the information you present below? I would encourage you to do that. </div><div><br></div><div>Love & Liberty,</div><div> ((( starchild )))</div><div>At-Large Representative, Libertarian National Committee</div><div> (415) 625-FREE</div><div> @StarchildSF</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Oct 24, 2016, at 6:10 PM, Arvin Vohra wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">Interesting.

If we get 5% of the popular vote, the
Libertarian Party will have automatic
ballot placement for future elections,<br>
<br>
10/24/2016 GJ fundraising email:<br>
What the two major parties don’t want
voters to know, is that for every vote
we get over 5% comes major party status
for the Libertarian party. It means
automatic ballot access for Libertarian
candidates.<br>
<br>
<br>
Is there any recourse for LP members
concerned our presidential campaign is
flat out lying to donors and
supporters? This isn't a matter of
opinion... the claim that a 5% vote
results in major party status and
automatic ballot access is demonstrably
false.<br>
<br>
By the time the duped voters and donors
realize the campaign intentionally
deceived them, Gary Johnson and his
conservative Republican staff will be
long gone, leaving party officials
holding the bag.<br>
<br>
I have to hear about the 5% canard every
day... it's pretty clear where this
unfounded rumor is coming from.<br>
