AS YOU HEARD, THE TOP THIRD PARTY CANDIDATES -- LIBERTARIAN GARY JOHNSON AND GREEN PARTY CANDIDATE JILL STEIN -- ARE ON THE BALLOT IN MOST STATES: JOHNSON IS ON THE BALLOT IN ALL 50 STATES, STEIN IS ON IN 48.
GETTING ON THE BALLOT VARIES ACCORDING TO EACH STATE. IN OHIO, 3 RD PARTY PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES MUST SUBMIT A PETITION WITH THE SIGNATURES OF 5,000 VOTERS TO BE INCLUDED ON OUR BALLOTS.
IN A OF COUPLE WEEKS, THE TEAM HERE AT NEWSDEPTH WILL BE PUTTING TOGETHER OUR OWN BALLOTS FOR OUR SPECIAL NEWSDEPTH ELECTION – AND WE NEED YOUR INPUT! WE WANT TO KNOW: SHOULD THIRD PARTY CANDIDATES BE INCLUDED ON BALLOTS? TELL US YES OR NO.
IF MOST OF YOU AGREE THAT THIRD PARTY CANDIDATES SHOULD BE INCLUDED, WE’LL ADD JILL STEIN AND GARY JOHNSON TO OUR NEWSDEPTH ELECTION BALLOT. AFTER YOU’VE VOTED, WRITE TO US AND TELL US HOW YOU VOTED AND WHY!
AND, WHILE WE’RE HERE, LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT LAST WEEK’S SURVEY, WE ASKED: SHOULD PEOPLE BE FORCED TO EVACUATE THEIR HOMES WHEN THERE ARE DANGEROUS STORMS, OR SHOULD THEY BE ALLOWED TO STAY IF THEY WANT? WE RECEIVED OVER 600 VOTES LAST WEEK, AND, MOST OF YOU AGREED THAT PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO EVACUATE THEIR HOMES. THANKS FOR VOTING.
