The Green Party is now ballot-qualified in California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, and West Virginia. Its Connecticut status is for Attorney General but no other statewide race.
It lost its qualified minor party status in New Mexico but less than 150 votes, but the vote tallies are not final so it could conceivably still poll enough votes. The party petition for 2022 is 3,483 signatures.
Although it is not ballot-qualified in Pennsylvania (except for special elections), it meets the state’s odd definition of “political party” so it will once more be listed as a choice on voter registration forms. It had lost that status in 2018.
It will be on in New York if it wins the lawsuit against the new definition of “political party.” It will be back on in Delaware if it increases its registration slightly; it will probably only need another 25 registrants or so.
The Green Party was ballot-qualified at the end of 2016 in twenty-one jurisdictions. UPDATE: an earlier version of this blog post said the party is not on in Hawaii, but that was a mistake. It is on in Hawaii.
Did any other parties lose status in Hawaii?
The American Shopping Party went off the ballot.
Which commie/fascist gang will be more effective in PURGING Greens/LPS OFF the ballots in 2021-2022 ???
The GOP will remove all other parties from the ballot in every state next year.
Should the Green Party also be considered qualified in North Carolina, since it was on the ballot in over 30 jurisdictions for President?
@Curt, the NC election laws lets a party to remain qualified if it was on the ballot in 70% of the states – that is 35 states(I assume not including states as a write-in candidate) The Greens did not meet that number.
How many votes does Howie need in New Mexico?
Thanks Eric. I thought it was 30 states, but I stand corrected.
