National Media Ignores Jo Jorgensen Press Release, That Shows She is on Ballot in All 51 Jurisdictions — 106 Comments

  2. This is the best presidential election ever for a Libertarian Party candidate in terms of lack of competition from other minor party and/or independent candidates in terms of ballot access. How many states is Jo Jorgensen going to be the only other option on the ballot besides Biden and Trump? I think it is 11 or 12 states. That is huge. The next candidate in line in terms of ballot access is Green Party candidate, Howie Hawkins, I think he’s only got like 33 or 34 states, or 32 states plus DC, or 33 states plus DC. After this, I think it will go (in descending order for ballot access) Rocky De La Fuente, Brock Pierce, Don Blakenship, Gloria La Riva, and Kanye West. American Solidarity Party has ballot access in a few states, and then there’s a handful of insignificant others. Somebody correct me if I made an error in ranking these candidates in terms of number of ballots they will appear, but if I am off, I think I have it close to accurate.

    The closeness of the race between Biden and Trump is going to work against all minor party and independent candidates, and with Trump being an incumbent now, I expect Republicans to galvanize behind him more so than in 2016. Even though Biden is a former Vice President, it is so blatantly apparent that he’s not a good candidate that the majority of Democrats have little enthusiasm for him, however, the Democrats really want to get rid of Trump, so most of them will “hold their nose” and vote for Biden anyway, as it will be more of a Stop Trump vote than a pro-Biden vote.

    I expect Jorgensen to do relatively well, but she will likely get less votes than Gary Johnson got in 2016, not because she’s a worse candidate than Johnson, she’s certainly better on issues from a libertarian perspective, but rather because in 2016 Hillary Clinton was widely hated, and viewed as a disappointment even by most Democrats, much like Joe Biden is today, but Donald Trump was new to running for office, and had less solid support from Republicans than he has now that he’s an incumbent. I see the “wasted vote” and “this is the most important election ever” syndrome being higher this time than in 2016. Jorgensen also has less name recognition, and less campaign money, than Johnson had.

    Jo Jorgensen has the benefit of running in an era where more people know the word libertarian than did back in 1996 when she was Harry Browne’s VP, and she also has the benefit of running against a weak field of minor party and independent candidates, as when Harry Browne ran in 1996, he had to go up against two far more well known, and well funded contenders in Ross Perot and Ralph Nader. Jorgensen has to run against three wealthy minor party/independent candidates in Rocky De La Fuente, Brock Pierce, and Kanye West, and West is also a major celebrity, however, none of these candidates are running effective campaigns, and they are all on the ballot in less than 25 states (I think Kanye will only be on the ballot in 10 states).

    So my prediction is that Jorgensen will get the 2nd highest presidential vote total in Libertarian Party history, in terms of number of votes, and in terms of percent of the vote. A lot of this will be due to two words: BALLOT ACCESS.

  3. She’ll get about 0.4 percent of the vote. Trump will win, and in four years he’ll win again. The amendment to keep him from running again after this will be repealed. He’ll win so many times he’ll get tired of winning, and then keep winning anyway. Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden and Hunter Biden will all go to prison. The Libertarians will finally at long last realize there is absolutely no difference between them and Republicans anymore, not even the trivial differences they used to have, and all get on the Trump train.

  4. Kanye West will get more media and more votes than jo blm Jorgensen despite being on in a lot less states. Many blacks will vote for Kanye bling bling and make sure Trump stays in office. Brilliant move team Trump. Showing the libtard commies how 4-D chess should be played.

  5. Predictions *prediction* written by 666Trump/Putin/Xi hacks or *original* propaganda of the BAN resident troll [also trolling on Facebook, Twitter, etc.] ???

    How many 1980 LP folks still around ???

  7. I agree with Andy. Also l don’t think that Gary Johnson has great coverage when he ran. He got a lot of votes partially because of his and Welds political background. When he did have the coverage from mainstream media it was for the media to make fun of him. That probably ended up helping him a little bit but not that much more. One minor disagreement that l have here. I think that Libertarian’s campaign on social media is decent. Compare how many people view her videos to those of other third parties.

    Brock Pierce said that he had no limit to campaign spending through his own personal funds. He is indeed creating a lot of ads. Not sure how much it costs for having it on National channels but he should have them played on them if that’s not the case.

  9. They laughed at Gary Johnson because he was an idiot. Did he ever figure out what Aleppo is? They won’t interview Jorgensen because her Marxism May cause Biden supporters to choose her instead. The media will do anything it can to make sure Trump loses.

    Also the troll has always called himself Demo Rep. No name change.

  10. THE BAN TROLL PARROTT IS AWAKE TODAY – WAITING FOR MORE COMMANDS FROM TROLLS-IN-CHIEFS 666 TRUMP / PUTIN / XI.

  11. Well neither Howie Hawkins nor Angela Walker knew that there was a peace treaty that was signed between Israel, Bahrain and UAE according to Howie Hawkins’s last video on YouTube. I don’t see Aleppo being any different to that. I’m no defender of Gary Johnson, l thought that he was easily losing his temper. No politician should be expected to know everything. Bottom line is is he or she up to the job.

  12. Demo Rep is so easy to upset. I imagine he was bullied frequently in school. He should take his trolling elsewhere.

  13. Kanye West is not being taken seriously AA a candidate by most people, including most black people, and even by most black people who listen to rap music. He also only has ballot access in 10 states. I expect Jorgensen to get a lot more votes than him.

  15. The 0.4% prediction for Jorgensen sounds about right. Libertarians always draw poorly in top races. A three candidate congressional race averages about 3-4%, lower races might be a bit higher.

  16. When you post a New York Times article, that’s shows you are not to be taken seriously. Demo Rep should troll somewhere else, like CNN next time the claim fires are a mostly peaceful protest.

    Type Jo Jorgensen Marxist in a search engine, and you will find many who believe she is.

  18. Jo Jorgensen is not a Marxist. She is a somewhat naive libertarian who has spent too much time being around leftist SJW’s on college campuses.

  19. Andy, why did you write a very good comment of condolences about Zeese “dying”-using Darcy Richardson’s name?
    Does Darcy even exist?
    I agree with most of what you write, which tells me you COULD be paulie, but paulie does not have a tell like you do.

  20. Demo Rep is so easy to bait. How pathetic.

    Jorgensen is Marxist and an SJW. Supporting Marxist BLM makes you one, I also hear she is pushing for mandatory face masks.

  21. TROLL MORONS LIKE TROLL DEMO REP LOVE TO SEE THEIR OWN TROLL POSTS —

    SO THEY CAN REPORT TO THEIR TROLL PUPPET MASTERS [ 666 TRUMP / PUTIN / XI ] HOW HARD THEY ARE TROLL WORKING.

    GETTING TROLL PAID BY THE WORD ???
    —

    HOW MANY MARXIST DONKEYS IN THE VARIOUS GERRYMANDER OFFICES – USA REP, USA SENATOR, STATE LEGIS, ETC. ???

    ESP DUE TO PLURALITY EXTREMIST WINNER PRIMARIES.

  23. All Jo has to do to win is reconvene the lp convention, renominate herself vp, Kevin Zeese as p. to form a fusion ticket.
    OOPS! It is too late and Zeese is “dead”!

  24. Howie wouldn’t accept a fusion ticket. He is exactly where the powers that be want him to be and put him-head of a kiss of death guaranteed loser Green socialist ticket.
    They whittled away at his ballot access also.

  27. Robert, in did not write the post to which you are referring, and yes, Darcy Richardson is a real person.

  28. Marxist Jorgensen will come in behind Marxist Hawkins with 0.2 and 0.3 percent respectively. Despite worse ballot access West and Pierce will both be ahead of either of those because they are not commies and not poor, but actual capitalists with money, like President Trump. The big lesson here is that capitalism always trumps communism. That’s why the USA near the USSR, why capitalist Trump beat communist Clinton and why he will beat communist Biden. Libertarians used to be for capitalism but now that just about every single Libertarian is already on board the Trump train the Marxists have taken over what’s left of the libertarian party and nominated dedicated Marxist commies Jorgensen and Cohen.

  31. Why USA beat USSR. NOT NEAR. BY A LOT. LIKE HOW TRUMP WILL BEAT COMMIE POS DEMENTIA JOE BIDEN, BY A LOT.

  32. I’ve been a Libertarian for 40 years. I saw Jo Jorgenson at the LP National Convention in about 1992. I’m sure she’s an articulate spokesperson for the Libertarian Party. Unfortunately, when I look at her background, I see nothing to indicate that she would be any more competent at running the country than I would. At a time when most voters seem to be debating over whether the #1 priority is to keep Donald Trump in office or to vote him out, I find it difficult to imagine a scenario where she could win the presidency, even if she somehow got into the Debates and talked rings around both Trump and Biden. If I were still a journalist, it pains me to say it, but in spite of my own political leanings, I would have a hard time justifying any significant coverage of her candidacy, too.

    Another thing that will make it a steeper uphill fight for Jo and the Libertarians: I think Donald Trump’s brand of deregulation has poisoned the term “deregulation” in the minds of much of the electorate.

    That’s just my unemotional appraisal of the situation.

  33. The people who still call themselves libertarian party are whiny Marxists. Actual capitalist libertarians have now realized they are 100% Trump Republicans and that winning feels great and actually is great.

  34. Winning is like a big cock. It always feels great but sometimes you got to tear an asshole.

  35. Trump is winning at deregulation. There is zero reason to not put giant Trump flags on your house, all your trucks and boats and out front of your business and even on your police cruiser regardless of whether your department allows it or not if you are a real libertarian. Since all the real libertarians left the libertarian party and are now proud Republicans the only people claiming libertarian party today are whining commie Marxists associated with blm, antifa, homosexual/transgender agenda, heavy marijuana and other illegal drug use, looting, rioting, feminaziism and other deviant antisocial behavior engaged in by weirdos who listen to noise and garbage that they call music which is neither country nor western.

  37. Yeah. She’s literally a bat shit crazy commie bat lady. And her boy vp is a neocon Zionist turned Marxist clown loser. Both are closely affiliated with Marxist looters and rioters from blm and they all take their marching orders directly from Marxist Zionist George Soros. He literally tells all of them, including Jorgensen and Cohen and those directly doing the burning, looting and murder exactly what to do and say every minute of every day through demonic mind control. They all push evil face masks and next will push an evil fake vaccine to implant billions of people with microchips which will jam and replace their brains to make them into brainwashed zombies for Soros and Marxist Zionism. But their evil plan will be thwarted as we the people rise up in righteous anger as we win once again and beat them into a quivering pulp and beyond in the name of Jesus, America, Trump, Capitalism, Chrisianity, European civilization, Heterosexuality, Country music, Law and Order, Law enforcement and all other things which are good, true and patriotic.

  39. While wikipedia used to be very inclusive and treat all candidates with more than 50% ballot access equally, a bunch of anti-third party people have taken over the 2020 presidential election page and eliminated Jorgensen and Hawkins pictures from the page. It seems like there are people working extra hard this year to suppress the third party vote.

  41. Andy,
    No tell. It probably isn’t you.
    Now somebody else is using your name?
    So there is a whole team of trolls working BAN?
    Darcy does not exist.
    Whose picture is that online of “Darcy”?
    Whose identity did you all steal?

  45. Very EVIL Cute when the moron TROLL posts more fake name posts to its earlier other fake name TROLL posts.

    Troll moron getting paid by the word by its troll moron farm puppet masters – Trump / Biden / Putin / XI ???

  50. The total vote total for Jorgensen is less important than the state by state details. Getting enough votes in key states to retain ballot access on the one hand and eclipsing 5% in 10 states on the other hand. The former saves time and money for the next campaign cycle. The later could qualify the campaign for matching funds that could invigorate LP efforts going forward.

    For the sake of comparison Gary Johnson got over 5% in 5 states and over 4% in 10 states in 2016.

    Not mentioned in Andy’s analysis is the potential for some voting synergy with 400+ LP candidates on the ballot in November including several that are running reasonably credible campaigns and stand a decent chance at attaining office.

  51. Richard, when are you going to clean up your comments section?
    Ironically this doesn’t happen in IPR because paulie is pretty good at checking IP addresses etc.
    I think he is commenting most of the nonsense here.

  53. … and? At some point, Libertarians need to do more than exist if they want to be taken seriously.

  54. Which states only have Jo Jorgensen on the ballot as the only position yo Biden and Trump?

    Virginia

    Georgia

    Alabama

    Indiana

    Kansas

    Nebraska

    South Dakota

    North Dakota

    Montana

    Arizona

    How about New Hampshire? What about Ohio? Any others?

  55. Jorgensen supports BLM? I’m not voting for her now. That’s scary she believes burning buildings, looting, and Marxism are good things.

  58. Jorgensen will get 0.1% or less because all the people who use to vote libertarian would never ever vote for Marxist burn loot murder and they all realize President Trump is the closest thing by far to a real libertarian that is running and endorse by Rand Paul, Bob Barr, Alex Jones, Wayne Root, Walter Williams, Eric Dondero, Walter Block, Lee Rockwell, pretty much any top libertarian celebrity or intellectual is for Trump and many also support the excellent work President Putin is doing in Russia and like top libertarians Christopher Cantwell and Augustus Invictus they believe Russia is our friend and as President Trump says also Poland is also our friend. Jorgensen and Cohen are Marxist crisis actors hired by Soros to endorse Soros controlled antifa and burn loot murder to hijack and crash what remains of the libertarian party so that just in case the neocons ever take the republican party back it can’t be a vehicle for true conservative tea party patriots to fight back against global Zionism and Marxism and the new world order reptilian illuminati. They know real Marxist commie libtards will not vote for her either, they would rather vote for Marxist dementia joe Biden or Marxist Howie Hawkins or write in Maoist Bernie Sanders. So she will get 0.001% or less and the libertarians will lose ballot access in many states which is the job Soros hired her to do. But he will be outwitted once again by the brilliant time traveling hero 4 D chess grandmaster and stable genius President Trump with Jesus and Putin looking on in pride and all the Founders and Saints and Crusaders and heroes and Western Civilization, European heritage, Capitalism, America and the forces of good will win yet again and throw Soros, Zionism, Marxism, reptilian, people who don’t listen to country music, Muslims, Mexicans, Chinamen, African savages and all other evil doers back in the pit of hell where they belong. Amen.

  60. Should read Lew Rockwell. Yes, yes, everyone should. Every day like I do. And listen to Alex Jones every day like I do too.

  62. Is it true Jorgensen is pushing for mandatory face masks, meaning less freedom? Not very libertarian.

  63. “Egyptian God,” I haven’t seen you around here lately, unless you have been posting under another fake name, or just lurking in the shadows.

  65. Andy, Howie Hawkins is on the Ohio ballot. But Jo is the only third choice in New Hampshire. We still don’t know if Howie will be on in Pennsylvania or not. The State Supreme Court hasn’t decided yet.

  66. Andy, I think your summary of Jo Jorgensen’s ballot status and vote totals are accurate. Thank you for summarizing it. I look forward to voting for her and I have been a member of the Libertarian Party for 41 years. I don’t agree with her on every nuance on every issue but she is much preferred to either Biden or Trump.

  67. THE BIDEN/TRUMP/PUTIN/XI SUPER MORON TROLL [OF MANY FAKE NAMES] IS DOING A-L-L OF THE PARROTT TROLLING.

    IT HAS NOTHING BETTER TO DO –

    NO CONLAW RESEARCH, NO MATH RESEARCH — JUST PUNKASS TROLL POSTS ON BEHALF OF ITS EVIL TROLL PUPPET MASTERS.

    RW HAS ITS EMAIL ADDRESSES.

  73. Certainly Biden and Trump will be on the ballot. Probably Jo and Howie. BUT US elections are so f ed up it really doesn’t matter who I vote for because NJ is a safe blue state i.e. it eill probably go democratic.
    My preference is to vote Green. But I do not particularly like Howie, I do like Jo. PLUS Jo is on all 51 ballots so theoretically has a chance to win. Howie does not.

  74. George Whitfield, the above comment was directed in response to yours. I recognize your name from IPR. Your comment seems legitimate. But realize that here at BAN there are several people evidently who are commenting using false names. The comment by Andy probably was not made by the real Andy. IMO.

  75. Richard should organize a zoom conference like that we can get to see how some of us really are in real life. I’m not going to mention any names but l am intrigued how two people who have written on this message board are in real life.

  76. @Howard “Getting enough votes in key states to retain ballot access on the one hand and eclipsing 5% in 10 states on the other hand.” Exactly.

    A 3rd party winnowing will follow the November 2020 polls. The field is crowded. And the pool of “protest ballots” limited. Most 3rd parties or independents are ineffectively organized. Worse, they fight the wrong fight.

    The battle is not for ephemeral high cost “access” with a short shelf life, sporadically distributed in states here or there. That is a costly diversion. Most 3rd parties cannot sustain such financial attrition. Their entire “campaign” is spent on regaining temporary access. Every cycle the 3rd parties are emptied of resources…for little real gain. To exploit the election space, the fight must be redirected into ballot qualification and continued development of actual functioning state parties.

  77. As to vote predictions (mentioned above), the model I use estimates Jorgensen’s return will be in the range of 2,104,546 to 3,060,151 votes.

    Dave Leip’s site reports 137,125,484 total votes in the 2016 general. For ease and to allow for ballot growth, round upward to 140M. Jorgensen’s ballot percentage will likely be about 1.5% to 2.2% of the total aggregate.

    These are conservative estimates.

  80. @Observer “Physics” suggest the LP will move upward in ballot count going forward, sort of by mass gravity effect.

    When I said “winnowing” of 3rd parties, I meant the LP will be somewhat unique. It’s mass cannot be ignored by the duopoly, and it will begin to be taken at par with the two majors. Simply by repeating its “LP in all 50 states” competitiveness in 2020, it is moving into rare latitudes. It should be the beneficiary of consolidation in the 3rd party realm.

    The LP has navigated into fair weather trade winds being (as Jim pointed out, and others) the only 3rd party option in over 20% of the States…one of only three party candidates in 12 states? So, LP’s existence is not in doubt (despite some claims to the contrary hereon.). Other 3rd parties–not so much. Most of those wayfarers are into the shoals, where breakup is nearly always the ultimate end.

    For its part, the LP should focus upon development of state affiliates, and exploit some of that “ballot access” expense by building ballot qualification. That way, in 2024 the LP would have significant economies to scale unavailable to other 3rd parties. It would also be able to come off the blocks much earlier. My two’s worth.

  81. Hi Floyd. As you know most states use top of ticket voting percentage thresholds to determine ballot access. The Jorgensen campaign has figured out the key states where some extra focus can make a difference for future ballot access on a dollar-adjusted basis. For all of its’ shortcomings in fund raising I see the current presidential campaign actually doing some pretty solid things to enhance the LP in the post campaign environment.

    You are correct that some states with pretty strong LP vote percentages need some extra support to get their state orgs rolling. My guess is that Idaho fits that bill quite well. Getting people to volunteer for the Jorgensen campaign is a great way to help as those contacts will be useful for future efforts at party building at the state level.

  82. What a mess!
    Trump has counter-PLAS..
    But his counterpart leftist did not win the democratic party nomination, Sanders.
    All the rest have to join Biden to defeat Trump.
    Nobody realizes that though. The American “two party” system has things so distorted that all this seems normal.
    Trump actually has the Constitution party vote.
    So a huge amount of votes that should be going to the leftist Green,
    are going to go to the democrat Biden.

  83. With PLAS a huge vote about 50% should go to Jo.
    Trump has long since stole the libertarian and constitution vote so they get near zero.
    The PLAS Green vote should be the other 50%, but Biden will get it.
    Leaving Howie near zero.
    A version of this happens every time. And always has.
    Pathetic.

  84. Will 5 of 9 SCOTUS hacks uphold ANY type of top 2 scheme is the question —

    esp after the coming 3 Nov 2020 CHAOS ???

  86. It is true that Marxist Jorgensen is pushing for mandatory Satan worship submission masks and will next be pushing for mandatory microchip brainwash population control vaccines. She is not libertarian at all but a Soros paid crisis actor.

  87. Lol. The cyberpig’s bot program seems to have malfunctioned by adding an “Andy tell” before a comment.

  88. Hawkins is not on the Pennsylvania ballot. Or Wisconsin. So those are some other reasons Soros is paying cryogenically frozen zombie brainwashed robot Jorgensen and batty boy blunder Cohen to take over the burned out husk of the former libertarian party left behind after Johnson, weld, aleppo, czarwark, libertarians for Trump etc etc on behalf of Marxist burn loot murder.

  89. Zoom conferences are a tool of satanic mind control. They emit Soros controlled waves which along with 5g create brain receptor conditions that will be perfect for chemtrails, microwaves and vaccines to combine to create totally brainwashed robots especially when they get fluoridated.

  90. If you use any of that stuff you are being turned into a robot sheep. Period. Dare to resist satanic mind control. Only real tinfoil works. Aluminum foil is controlled opposition.

  92. I once jumped a shark. The shark liked it. Wouldn’t leave me alone after that. I had to go find a different beach.

  94. I had to go find a different beach should read had to go find a different bitch. No, wait, no it should not. I was right the first time. Disregard that completely.

  97. Well, it wasn’t Bethany Frankel. The last name alone would have made that far too repulsive. I wish I could say it was Maria Sharapova or Sara Blakely, but sadly no, I can not tell a lie.

  98. I used to vote. Then I found out I was being used to vote. Those of you being used to vote. Should read black box voting. Then you’ll have used to vote. Should read. Should black box voting. Used to vote. Used to vote. Should read.

  100. Consent is a funny thing in sex and politics. Never as simple as people think, or think they think.

  102. She’s a convert to judeosatanism who was born gentile but at least she is not a frankel. Those are special kind of evil and gross as they simply maliciously con and convince you to get entwined with them. Far worse than the run of the mill Zionist or judeomarxist. Who’s on the ballot in area 51?
