National Vote Totals for the Seven Presidential Candidates Last Year Who Were on the Ballot Somewhere but Who Got Under 1,000 Votes

The January 1, 2017 B.A.N. print issue carried election returns for the eight presidential candidates who got the most votes in November 2016. Unfortunately the internet version of that print issue chopped off the far right-hand column and Rocky De La Fuente’s votes are not posted. He received 33,136 votes, which is clear from the print version on paper, but not the internet version.

The February 1, 2017 B.A.N. print version has another 24 presidential candidates who were on the ballot in at least one state and received at least 1,000 votes.

For the sake of completeness, here are the final seven presidential candidates who were on the ballot somewhere but who did not get as many as 1,000 votes. They are:

1. Joseph Maldonado, independent, 962 votes.
2. Ryan Scott, independent, 751 votes.
3. Rod Silva, Nutrition Party, 751 votes.
4. Princess Jacob, Loyal, Trustworthy, Compassion, 749 votes.
5. Jerry White, Socialist Equality, 475 votes.
6. Bradford Lyttle, U.S. Pacifist Party, 382
7. Frank Atwood, Approval Voting Party, 337.

Thanks for this information, Richard! Congratulations to Frank Atwood and Blake Huber of the newly formed Approval Voting Party! This is just the beginning for this party which seeks to educate the nation about an alternative voting system that we would be wise to adopt!

According to both Ben Hartnell’s campaign site (http://www.electthebeard.com/2016-election-results.html), and http://www.thegreenpapers.com/G16/President-Details.phtml, Ben Hartnell received either 719 or 721 votes, mostly from his home state of Ohio.

I apologize if this has been addressed, but is there a reason he wouldn’t make this list?

Hope this finds you well.

Nevermind – I saw that you specified that they were “on the ballot” whereas Hartness was a write-in. My bad.

Evenually, a 2018 tracker will be posted. Maybe a good idea would be to challenge the major parties from the inside in primaries for exposure for minor parties.

Richard:
As far as you know, did 2016 have the largest number of candidates on at least ONE ballot for President?
Richard Winger on February 28, 2017 at 9:05 am said:

Yes. The previous record was 28, in 2012. Before that it was 23, in 1992.

If I ran I could get more votes than these people.

Have there ever been more presidential hopefuls on any given ballot than there were in 2016?
