The Nevada Libertarian Party retained its qualified status because it ran Jesse Walsh for County Commission, Clark County, Seat B. That is a partisan office. It also kept it in the U.S. Senate race, with 1.3%.
The law says the vote test for qualified status is 1% (for any partisan nominee, not just statewide nominees) of the total statewide vote for U.S. House.
Walsh was in a two-person race with a Democrat and polled 47,275, 37.14% of the total for that race. The vote test requires at least 12,393 votes for any party nominee.
Your information is a bit off, US Senate Chris Cunningham and US CD 2 Javi Tachiquin have/will also qualify LPNV for ballot access.
You’re right about US Senate, and I have amended the post. But for US House, 2nd district, Javi was a little bit short.
You might be correct about Javi. When I ran the numbers with 18% of the vote remaining, it looked like he would make up the difference. Now, with only 5% outstanding, I’d guess he will come up short.
Dang it! I was correct the first time. Javi made the threshold and they are still counting ballots.
