Now if the party in question isn't the Republican or Democratic party, then there is actually some truth to what your coworker is telling you. Federal funds for third parties (Greens, Libertarians, etc.) is based on turnout. If they capture something like 5% (DC_Dux do you know the actual number) of a national election, then they are eligible for federal matching funds in the next cycle.
I'm pretty sure that's not the case here, but it's worth mentioning.
