H. Brooke Paige & Thomas Witman; Grumpy Old Patriots. There is no campaign or party website beyond Paige's site discussion in the VT Secretary of State's race.
Brock Pierce & Karla Ballard; Unaffiliated. Policy page has a number of items that sound good, but even after you click "Learn more" there is a problematic lack of detail about their proposed solutions. Many of us can agree that the national debt is too large, but "We will balance America’s budget for the benefit of future generations" isn't a satisfactory solution without more explanation of *how* you plan to do that.
Zachary Scalf & Matthew Lyda; Independent. Candidates and campaign have zero internet presence.
Jerome Segal & John De Graaf; Bread and Roses. Website has a number of thoughtful statements on their philosophy (main page) and policy agenda page. Unfortunately, both pages have the same big picture of Jerome Segal at the top, so it's hard to tell you've changed pages, the policy agenda page has "under construction" sections a month from the election, and the whole site is poorly formatted for reading.
Gary Swing & David Olszta; Boiling Frog. Party website looks like a joke campaign.
Donald Trump & Michael Pence; Republican. Issues page is a separate URL from the main campaign site; promiseskept.com instead of donaldjtrump.com. Why?
Kanye West & Michelle Tidball; Independent. Website is a one-pager that appears to be optimized for mobile.
It is amazing that in this day and age, these people who take the time to run don't bother to have a decent internet presence. I guess maybe that tells you about their constituents...
ReplyDeleteI don't think we had half of the number of presidential candidates as you in VT. In fact, I only remember seeing like five, I think.
That's similar elsewhere. There are 6 candidates that are *only* in VT. Wikipedia has a helpful page on who's on the ballot where: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_party_and_independent_candidates_for_the_2020_United_States_presidential_election
