You said the median was 2%, why would we recommend 5%? #libertrian #ballotaccess #Alabama

♻lp@kill-the-newsletter.com "The Libertarian Party is leading the charge for Ballot Access Reform in the state of Alabama.
Under current law, a political party must earn at least 20% of the vote for a statewide office in the last statewide election to remain on the ballot.
This is—by far—the highest ballot access retention vote requirement in the nation. The next closest requirement is 10% of the vote in two states, while the median vote retention requirement among all states is 2%.
We are pushing for legislation to change the vote retention requirement from 20% to 5%. If this were to pass, LP Alabama would immediately qualify for the ballot."
