#literally cannot find Unicorn Party ballot access info anywhere

[walks-the-ages]

So as a shorter post that is rebloggable:

I cannot find anywhere that verifies Jasmine Sherman (they/them) 's 48-state ballot access claim, that is stated explicitly on their website as:

ID + link: "Jasmine is on the ballot under the Unicorn Party."

In fact, every website I have found that lists out Ballot Access for the 2024 election, including the one Jasmine Sherman's website links to refutes the 48-state claim and only shows them on Florida's ballot, while other sources state they are only on Alaska's ballot, which is one of the 2 states on the official website they're not listed on!

There's also the part of Jasmine Sherman's policy where they explicitly support the Death Penalty and have only "changed their stance" in an unspecified way due to it going against the Green Party's platform.

They have not changed the page for the Death Penalty Policy other than to add a note above that they're "preserving it for transparency", instead of listing what their actual planned policy is.

Jasmine Sherman supports the Death Penalty via Morphine Overdose or Firing Squad, with just one year for "due process"

So yeah, until anyone can actually independantly verify that Jasmine Sherman has 48 states with ballot access , I would take that entire website with a huge grain of skepticism.

As it stands, Jill Stein is independently verified multiple places to have Ballot Access in at least 21 states with more pending certification -- all of the links above that show Jasmine Sherman's ballot access (or rather, lackthereof) will also verify Jill Stein's ballot access, along with a whole host of other, smaller candidates.

If you were also planning on supporting Jasmine Sherman and their website says they are on your state's ballot, see if you are able to independently confirm that, and let me know in the reblogs!

you can use Ballot Ready, Ballotpedia and Vote.org to register to vote / check your registration, as well as get previews of your state' ballot once they're released closer to the election, so you can research all of your options before voting day!

if you're anxious about what America will be like in 2025, you can start making the world a better place locally by making connections, getting active in your community in any way you can, such as:

Join Local Facebook groups are abundant and a great way to get to know the people in your area! See if you've been missing out on great community opportunities, and see if you can start arranging your own!

Start or join a community garden.

Even if you don't have a lawn, if you can get a bucket with some holes in the bottom filled with dirt from the dollar store, you can grow your own food, as easily as keeping that core of seeds next time you chop up colored bell peppers or tomatoes or eggplant for dinner.

Volunteer at the local library or food bank.

Organize block parties.

Start a book club, and build some Free Little Libraries if you're handy with tools.
