So I just did a fairly deep dive on this. [livejournal.com profile] ronebofh is a California voter. The qualifying requirements in California (https://ballotpedia.org/Ballot_access_requirements_for_political_candidates_in_California) are the nomination of a political party, gathering a petition to run as an Independent, or running as a write-in candidate.

I assume you're talking about the criteria a party must meet in order to be ballot qualified. In California that seems to be determined by a certain number of registrants (http://ballot-access.org/2015/08/29/california-bill-setting-up-rules-for-green-party-primaries-moves-ahead/), not the votes in the last election. So even if what you're saying is true, I don't think it's true for [livejournal.com profile] ronebofh.

Can you give me an example of a state in which the party's votes in the last election determine the onerousness of that party's campaign in the next election?
