Talk:Third-party and independent candidates for the 2024 United States presidential election

Note About Eligibility for Electoral Votes?
Should there be a note on the Kennedy line that his campaign is currently constitutionally ineligible to receive the electoral votes in California if they happen to win the state? When both the president and the vice president are from the same state, they can't win the electoral votes from that state. This would also apply to Cornell West's campaign, but he's not on the CA ballot. (The reason I'm asking is that the 54 electoral votes from California are currently being included in the "ballot access" count, but he can't legally win those votes so I don't understand why they would count.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:4808:2950:1100:4C12:CAB9:A292:9EA9 (talk) 16:37, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Disregard -- upon further research, Kennedy is registered in NY, so I'm going to edit the page to reflect that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:4808:2950:1100:4DA:FD5D:2815:7D6F (talk) 20:53, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Tom Hoefling running as independent?
Saw that Thomas Hoefling - who ran for president thrice before (2012, 2016, 2020) - has announced that he's running again as an independent.

Not sure if he's filed officially yet, but given his background, he's definitely worth a mention somewhere once he does file. MikeyX58 (talk) 00:28, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Dual nominations for CO Libertarians
Despite indicating that the Colorado Libertarians will nominate RFK (per the Wikipedia article), a member of the LPUSA submitted paperwork confirming the official ticket as Oliver and ter Maat. David O. Johnson (talk) 22:01, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Some Map Errors
For Jill Stein, the election map shows Nevada as "petition pending". Clicking on the map has the blow-up version show that she is on the ballot in Nevada. Which is it? Also, Iowa is not listed as an "automatic write-in" on either map for her or Cornel West's two maps. Thecommander236 (talk) 19:53, 11 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Also, the notes for Stein's map indicates that she has a petition in Ohio, but that is not shown on either map, Cornel West's blow-up map is in a smaller resolution for some strange reason, and Shiva Ayyadurai's and Everylove's maps is the correct size but it is in a lower resolution. Thecommander236 (talk) 20:04, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Finally, should we actually have people who only have petitions in the "Candidates with partial ballot access" section? For instance, Jasmine Sherman is petitioning for Ballot Access in Alaska, but doesn't actually have it. People without any actual ballot access should be listed in the "Candidates without ballot access" section. Someone is adding Chris Garrity and Rio Damian Gralnick to the "Candidates with partial ballot access" section when they don't have ballot access. Listing candidates with only petitions will just clutter up the page. Thecommander236 (talk) 20:09, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Rio Damian Gralnick
In a previous archive from the Colorado SOS Web site (link,) Rio Damian Gralnick was listed as a petitioning presidential candidate. Today, he's no longer shown. I'm not too sure whether it's just missing or if his petition was actually rejected or withdrawn. LV ✉  ✎ 22:13, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Using different color for "Certified for ballot" in inset maps?
Hi,

I've noticed that the bright green that's currently used for "Certified for ballot" doesn't contrast as well as the other colors used in the maps.

For instance, looking at the "Candidates with majority ballot access" section, the Western states that are "Certified for ballot" for the Libertarians just look like one bright green blob.

Maybe a darker shade of green would work better.

Cornel West website states many write-ins
Lukt64 (talk) 15:53, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Do write-ins count as electors?
Chris Garrity has high amounts of certified write ins. I’m wondering, do we put him above people like Skousen,Sonski, and Huber? 24.73.80.178 (talk) 16:10, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
