North Carolina law says a party gains or retains qualified status if its presidential nominee was on the ballot in at least 35 states. The party label doesn’t matter. Jill Stein will be on the ballot in 36 states in November 2024, so the party is now on the ballot for 2026 and 2028.
Parties also retain if they poll 2% for either President or Governor. Both offices are up in presidential years.
If Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. had not withdrawn, his party, the We the People Party, would also have qualified. However, he withdrew his name from North Carolina and eighteen other states, so he is only on in 31 states (plus D.C., but D.C. doesn’t count…

In my last blog post, Evolution of Logical Replication, I mentioned the future development of a feature to allow “upgrades of logical replication nodes.” The upcoming release of PostgreSQL 17 includes this feature. Previously, after major version upgrades (via pg_upgrade), users couldn’t immediately connect and write data to logical replication nodes. This was because the slots were lost during upgrades, preventing replication from continuing. As a result, new writes wouldn’t get replicated, causing data on both nodes to become out of sync. As explained in this blog post, users had to block applications from writing until the replication setup was re-enabled after the upgrade.With PostgreSQL 17, logical replication nodes can be upgraded without blocking writes or…

But I’m not sure I’ve come across a worse criticism of Section 230 than the one recently published by former House Majority Leader Dick Gephardt and former Congressional Rep. Zach Wamp. They put together the criticism for Democracy Journal, entitled “The Urgent Task of Reforming Section 230.”
