In October 2020, the Secretary of State’s office had released data for minor parties that was inaccurate. I printed that minor party data in the November 1, 2020 Ballot Access print edition, even though at the time I suspected it wasn’t correct. For example, the October 2020 figure had only showed 15,048 for the Independent Party, even though the state had said earlier in the year that the Independent Party was entitled to its own presidential primary because it had over 40,000 registrants. Also the October 2020 figure had showed 23,406 Libertarians, which was suspiciously high.
The March 1 2021 print issue of BAN will have a voter registration chart.
Lots of registered Democrats who vote Republican in Louisiana.
The American Solidarity Party is trying to qualify as Solidarity. Clearly we haven’t passed the Constitution Party’s 170. Is there a way to find numbers for those miscellaneous parties?
What’s the story behind the Conservatives?
Solidarity has 16 registrants, according to the Secretary of State.
