On November 5, 2024, the Conservative Party polled 49.12% of the vote for Assemblymember, 48th district. This is in the Borough Park neighborhood of Brooklyn. Starting in 2020, there has been only one candidate on the ballot in this district, Simcha Eisenstein. Every year he is the nominee of the Democratic Party and the Conservative Party, with no other parties having a nominee. And every year, it is a close contest as to whether he polls more votes on the Democratic line or the Conservative line. In 2020 he had polled 51.62% of his votes on the Conservative line.

On December 31, 2024, the Tennessee Libertarian Party filed this Reply brief in Darnell v Hargett, 24-5856, in the Sixth Circuit. This is the case that challenges the Tennessee law on how new parties get on the ballot.

Washington, D.C. has a procedure for a write-in declaration of candidacy for presidential candidates in general elections, but D.C. also has a policy that it won’t tally those write-ins. This year, these candidates filed the declaration: Chase Oliver, Jill Stein, Claudia De la Cruz, and Shiva Ayyadurai.

Joseph Bishop-Henchman, who lives in D.C., was irked that no write-in information was released by the Board of Elections, so he arranged to count them himself. Among candidates who were on the ballot in at least one state, he found these: Jill Stein 2,246; Claudia De la Cruz 609; Cornel West 461; Chase Oliver 202; Peter Sonski 128; Randall Terry 4.

He also tallied the votes for people who weren’t candidates. See his whole report at Independent Political Report.
