For First Time, Libertarian Registration in Nevada Exceeds 1%, So Party Need Not Worry About Vote Test

On September 5, the Nevada Secretary of State posted the August 31, 2018 voter registration data. For the first time, the Nevada Libertarian Party registration exceeds 1% of the state total. This means the party remains on the ballot, whether it passes the vote test or not. In practice, though, the party always easily passes the 1% vote test, so the practical significance is relatively small. Here is a link to the tally. The Independent American Party, the Nevada affiliate of the Constitution Party, has been above 1% of the registration for many decades.

Nevada posts totals for active voters and inactive voters. BAN’s practice in reporting registration data has always been to acknowledge only active voter data.

For First Time, Libertarian Registration in Nevada Exceeds 1%, So Party Need Not Worry About Vote Test — 2 Comments

  1. 1. How many States have party ballot access based on party registration stats ???

    2. ALL party registration lists are PURGE lists.

    See 1917 commie takeover in Russia.
    See 1933 nazi takeover in Germany.

    Are you now or have you ever been a member of the ZZZ party ???
    USA — 1950s Korean War — commie scare.

    Enough extremist commies and fascists in the minority rule gerrymander USA Congress for a PURGE to happen ???

    NO public party registration stats

    PR and AppV

  2. I would guess, however, that the percentage of Nevada Libertarian registrants who are aware of the Libertarian Party exceeds the percentage of Nevada Independent American registrants who are aware of the Independent American Party.

    A couple of years ago there was a survey that found that many California voters who were registered with the American Independent Party didn’t realize what the party was like and thought that “American Independent” just meant that they were registered to be members of no party. It seems likely that the Independent American Party in Nevada has benefited from similar confusion.
