These figures are for active voters. A handful of states also keep track of inactive voters, but traditionally B.A.N. doesn’t use those figures.

On May 31, 2017, Andrew Straw filed a federal lawsuit against Indiana’s 2% petition requirement for independent candidates and the nominees of unqualified parties, as applied to people who are physically disabled and unable to engage in petitioning in public in the normal fashion, which requires mobility. The lawsuit is based on the federal law that prohibits states from discriminating against disabled individuals. Straw v State of Indiana, s.d., 1:17cv-1797. The case is assigned to U.S. District Court Judge William T. Lawrence, a Bush Jr. appointee.

For 2018, Straw wants to be on the ballot as the Disability Party nominee for Secretary of State. Here is the ballotpedia page about him.

On July 13, the New York State Supreme Court, Appellate Division, ruled that Warren Redlich may proceed with a trial against his 2010 Republican opponent, Carl Paladino, and others. Redlich is suing for defamation. Here is the three-page opinion in Redlich v Stone, 4448 109005/11. Redlich was the Libertarian nominee for New York Governor. He polled 48,386 votes. If he had polled 50,000, the Libertarian Party would have become ballot-qualified in New York for the first and only time. Without the defamatory actions taken against Redlich just prior to election day, he might have polled 50,000 votes.
