minor party status
Colorado Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes is doing so poorly that if he draws less than ten percent of the vote next week, Republican Party candidates will appear, across the board, at the bottom of the ballot for the next four years.
Our state house and senate candidates will similarly be relegated to bottom positions. In 2014, when we have our US Senate, Governor, Attorney General, Treasurer etc races, again, we will be at the bottom of the ballot fighting the libertarians etc for ballot placement. As we all know, being at the top or toward the top can mean several percentage points in the vote, enough in a close race to secure victory.

In California the candidates are listed randomly on the ballot and we often see Greens and Libratarians above the Democrats and Republicans.
