Neither Trump nor Biden: Meet the Other Candidates in the US Presidential Election | 2020 U.S. elections

Third party parties and independent candidates are also at stake. Although they have no real chance of winning the dispute, they can influence the final outcome. In the last presidential election of 2016, more than 7.6 million Americans voted for a candidate other than Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.

Jill Stein, then a Green Party candidate, received more votes in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania than the difference by which Trump defeated Hilllary in each of those states.

In 2000, in Florida’s controversial vote-recount election, Green Party candidate Ralph Nader received more than 97,000 votes in the state, far more than the 537 who declared George W. Bush won over Democrat Al Sangre.

Bush’s victory in Florida gave him the most votes in the Electoral College and victory in the presidential election.

However, the impact of these parties in the 2020 elections is expected to be less. Many candidates have difficulty registering in some states and should not have their names printed on the ballot.

In September, the Wisconsin Supreme Court, for example, ruled that Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins would be disqualified due to discrepancies in the addresses listed by his vice presidential candidate. With the decision, your name should not appear on the state ballot papers.

Rapper Kanye West, who announced his candidacy in July, is officially on the ballot in only 11 states and has even asked voters to write his name on the ballot.

In addition to the impact they can have on the bottom line, junior candidates often enter the contest to draw attention to issues they consider relevant, such as environmental issues, free access to health, universal basic income, among others.
