Here is a link to the Arizona Secretary of State’s election returns page. Americans Elect polled .99% for Governor, so it will be removed from the ballot in a year, unless it gets its registration up to two-thirds of 1% of the state total, which is very unlikely. If the party had polled 5% for Governor, it would have retained for another four years even without meeting the alternate voter registration test.

That sucks, John Mealer was a good candidate that worked his butt off campaigning, despite lack of financial resources.
Yet he still pulled off a major feat in getting on the ballot in a state like Arizona in the first place. He has my respect.
Stephen Dolgos, running for the second time as the Americans Elect Party candidate in the 8th Congressional District, received nearly 25% against the Republican incumbent, a record showing for an Americans Elect Party candidate in any state. (There was no Democrat running.) Another Arizona Americans Elect candidate got 17% in a State Senate race, and other AE candidates for Congress in the 7th C.D. and a State House race did multiple times better than the party’s gubernatorial candidate.
