  1. If you include the party spilt in 2004, it will be Nomination Number 7. That beats the old record of 6 held by Norman Thomas of the Socialist Party.

  2. Actually, there is no split in the Prohibition organization. The vast majority far outnumber the “three states” “Dodge goup” — the term used in the ongoing litigation.

    The “Dodge group” refuse to accept the majority decision of 2003 to not re-elect the “Dodge group.”

    Courts have ruled for decades that parties are entitled to define their membership. The “Dodge group” are not the organization, are not even a “faction” of it — but are EX-members.

    The “Dodge group” has evidently shrunk even further since their filing in court alleging some 7 or 8 or so signers.

    The actual 2003 nominee, Rev. Gene Amondson, was on the ballot not only in Colorado but also in Louisiana. All the ballot positioned state parties recognize the majority under the leadership of Chairman Amondson.

    The real Prohibition convention is scheduled to occur in September, 14th and 15th, 2007, in Indianapolis.

  3. Apparently the campaign is subsidised by someone’s will and the candidate gets to decide how to spend a portion of the money. I don’t know the details.

  4. Here is a website with the county results of the Amondson-Dodge ballot in Colorado in 2004.
