"It takes five times as many more petition signatures for our party to be on the ballot than a major name candidate,"

Georgia passed a law in 1943 requiring that new party and independent candidates submit a petition signed by 5% of the number of registered voters in order to get on the ballot for any office. The result has been that since 1943, there has not been one third party candidate on the Georgia ballot for U.S. House of Reps.

If you're mad about this, contact your elected representatives to complain about Oklahoma's restrictive and discriminatory ballot access laws: - Over 40,000 Oklahomans signed petitions to place Nader on the ballot, but that wasn't enough! - Oklahoma has the highest signature requirement, per capita, of any state in the country - Oklahoma's signature deadline (July 15) is one of the earliest (only 8 states are earlier) - Oklahoma is one of only 7 states that don't allow write-in votes for U.S. President

The states in which the Libertarian Party now has ballot status are: AZ, CA, DE, GA, ID, IN, KA, MN, MS, MO, MT, NV, NM, OR, SC, SD, TX, UT, VT, WV, WI, and WY (22 OUT OF 50)

“The increase in independent voters in recent years has presented a challenge to political candidates, who no longer can rely on their parties to deliver the bulk of their votes.”

“One of the striking features of the 1996 election results is how voters in Democratic regions have become more Democratic, while voters in Republican regions have become more Republican."

Another view of partisanship: the percentage of party-unity votes on which a member agreed with a majority of his party House Average Democrat: 80% Average Republican: 91% Senate Average Democrat: 81% Average Republican: 89%
