Revision as of 18:54, 5 July 2020
The following political parties, and independent candidates have either not been recognized by the FEC as a major or minor political party, or are not running under the banner of any political party and have not polled consistently at 5% in public opinion polling.
The Libertarian Party, recognized by the FEC as a "minor political party" received 5% in the 2016 Presidential Election, becoming qualified for public funding and thus being excluded from the above criteria.
Green Party
The Green Party is currently the largest "minor party" in the United States, both by party membership and ballot assess. The Green Party currently has ballot access in 24 states, totaling 305 electoral college votes.
The Party placed fourth in the popular vote last election, taking .98% nationally. The Green Party's 2012 and 2016 nominee, Jill Stein, was initially also a candidate for 2020, but withdrew before the primaries began.

Controversies
Coal Tycoon Don Blankenship and Engineer Jack Fellure were both seeking the Republican nominations as well, leading to internal party disputes about their eligibility. Ultimately, both were allowed to compete for the Party's Presidential nomination. The point was rendered moot after both men ended their campaigns for the Republican nomination.
Further controversy emerged following the selection of Blankenship as the party's nominee. Blankenship, a convicted felon, had willfully ignored safety standards within one of his coal mines, leading to an explosion that killed several miniors. The state party affiliates in Virginia and New Mexico have endorsed Samm Tittle, and she will petition for ballot access under the party line in those states (The Constitution Party of Virginia initially endorsed Libertarian Austin Petersen, but he removed himself from consideration). Blankenship's campaign is exploring legal options to remove Tittle's name from the ballot.
Reform Party
Unlike other political parties, the Reform Party holds an entirely mail-based primary to determine the party's nominee. The party has not held a primary since its near collapse following a schism during the 2000 Presidential election. The party's chair, Bill C. Merrell, claims that roughly 60,000 ballots will be sent out by the party, with between 20,000 and 30,000 expected to return.
In all, around 10,000 people cast ballots in the Reform party primary. On June 2, 2020, Rocky De La Fuente, the Alliance and American Delta Parties' nominee, was announced as the winner. Both Flynn and Abramson are continuing their campaigns as independents.
