I live in Washington State (Which only has "mail in" ballots as a way to cast votes) and have voted in presidential elections in the past in Washington . Typically every election ballot has had the presidential candidates front and center on the first page of the ballot. However this year, the presidential candidates were buried on the very last page behind all of the state initiatives at the end of the ballot. I have never seen that before and wondered if anyone else that has had a chance to view their ballots for the November elections in their respective states? If so, are you seeing the same thing?
Here is the President and Vice President candidate list on the Ballot in WA State:
- Harris & Walz- Democratic Party
- Trump & Vance Republican Party
- RFK & Shanahan- We the People Party
- Jill Stein & Rudolph Ware- Green Party
- Claudia De la Cruz & Karina Garcia – Socialism & Liberation Party
- Rachele Fruit & Dennis Richter – Socialist Workers Party
- Joseph Kishore & Jerry White – Socialist Equality Party
- Chase Oliver & Mike ter Maat – Libertarian Party
- Cornel West & Melina Abdullah – Justic for All Party
- Shiva Ayyadurai & Crystal Ellis – Independent Party
If you go on Ballotpedia, the (President & Vice President) requirements for getting on the 2024 ballot are pretty fuzzy for independent candidates. I do not recall seeing "Socialist" parties listed on any previous presidential ballots. This will be an interesting election!
