I wasn't stating otherwise. I know of the requirement. But put some effort into stumping and make people believe in you to get those votes required. I'm guessing it's not the same requirement in all states.
Johnson had a pretty good system set up for that between email and social media. I was getting emails at least once a day with updates, reminders, requests for donations, and volunteering time on my phone. You can stump all you want in public, if the media isn’t giving you an ear, and you can’t get on NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN et al as little more than a curiosity in the race most people won’t know you exist or will forget about you pretty quick.
They might need a better PR machine. They might need a better platform. I really don’t know at this point as this was the first election they finally appealed to my sensibilities. I intend to find out what else they need to appeal to people who are feeling more and more marginalized by the two party system and see if I can help. In another six months I’ll be in a better position to do that.
