If you were a candidate for president from an independent party, what election results would you have to achieve in order to be eligible for general election campaign funding? When would you receive the money?
What will be an ideal response?
An ideal response will:
1, Highlight that third parties may qualify for full general election campaign funding only if they received at least 25 percent of the vote in the previous presidential election. The money will be received once the parties all select their nominees.
2, Discuss the significance of the general election campaign funding, particularly for third-party candidates. This may focus on the challenge for third parties to achieve 25 percent of the vote (no third party has received full public funding).
