    I get the feeling in OPs post, but for those unfamiliar, there are more people on the ballot other than the 2 main picks. This even varies by state, as they can have different criteria for defining who makes it to the ballot.

    So perhaps a black woman has at some point ran for president (as in, made it to the ballot at least)?

        That’s why I specified “general”. I’m not sure a Black woman was ever on a general election ballot
