Infobox

Created an info box. Use this talk thread for feedback.

One thing: Given all of the “Alliances”, does it make sense to put those in a note rather than in the box, it looks quite cluttered. Crazysportsdude1 (talk) 21:48, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Might be worth putting a note for RFK on withdrawn, to specify he remains on state ballots. I know the number of ballots is listed, but without looking at the specifics of his candidacy, it looks a little off. Just my two cents anyway. CNC (talk) 21:38, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where is Randall Terry Constitution candidate. Put him back on the infobox. Muaza Husni (talk) 08:46, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

less than 0.05% of the vote Crazysportsdude1 (talk) 19:12, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would argue that Richard Duncan should be removed from the Infobox. He campaigned in a single state, isn't notable enough for his own Wikipedia page, and received fewer than half the votes of the next higher candidate, Dr. Shiva. I suspect that Duncan was included in the Infobox simply because there are nine spots in the Infobox, but I feel that keeping the 9th spot blank offers a better balance of attention as a whole to the people in the Infobox.

Do the numbers given not include write in votes?

It doesn’t seem to 2604:3D09:1F7F:8B00:304F:A9B7:222B:FC45 (talk) 16:33, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
