Democratic Party Has More U.S. House Candidates on November Ballot than Any Party Since 1974

In the November 2018 election, there will be Democrats on the ballot in all but three U.S. House districts. The Republican Party has never had that many candidates. The Democrats have not had candidates in so many districts since 1974, when they only missed one district, Ohio’s 3rd. The other years in which the Democratic Party had that many candidates were 1964 (they missed one), 1962 (they missed one), and 1958 (they missed two).

The only three districts in 2018 that the Democrats missed are California’s 8th district, Georgia’s 8th district, and North Carolina’s 3rd district. In California’s 8th district, the top-two system blocked any Democrat from qualifying for the general election ballot. There were two Republicans and three Democrats. The two Republicans received 44,482 and 24,933 votes. The three Democrats received 23,675, 10,990, and 5,049 votes.

In 2018, Republicans have candidates for U.S. House on the ballot in 398 districts. For purposes of this blog post, the 435 regular seats, plus the District of Columbia’s Delegate seat, are counted, for a total of 436 districts. If purists object to including the D.C. Delegate post, then the Republicans have candidates in 397 districts.

Democratic Party Has More U.S. House Candidates on November Ballot than Any Party Since 1974 — 33 Comments

  1. The Democratic Party wants to roar back in the usual cycle and women too, will be working hard to win.

    The United Coalition USA is part of the Democratic Party with former 2014 CA SoS candidate PM PhD Jeffrey Drobman [Democratic], teaching computer science, baseball at UCLA, he also being a program developer with the Unity Platform USA with All Party System Co., the team that Google, the Green Party and Libertarian Party bosses, don’t want anyone to know about.

  2. Donkeys are still in a state of shock from the 1994 gerrymander election

    — lost CONTROL of USA H Reps after 40 years.

    Nonstop moving of urban Republicans to outer suburbs to escape communist ghetto cities and old inner suburbs.

    1/2 or less votes x 1/2 rigged packed/cracked gerrymander districts = 1/4 or less CONTROL

    — USA / State / Local.

    MUCH worse primary math — new extremists when no incumbent in primary –

    REAL Control = est. 5-15 percent

    — ie New Age communists/fascists in Donkey/Elephant party.

    2018 gerrymander results data = part of *base* data for 2021-2022 new gerrymander districts
    — perhaps 20-40 pct ??? (along with 2016-2020 Prez data)

    PR and AppV

  3. The Democrats may be attempting to gin up data for partisan gerrymandering lawsuits. Under the “efficiency gap” metric a vote for Noah Hope (D) is a “wasted vote”. If a Democrat can get 30% of the vote, those votes are wasted, and it reduces the wasted votes for the Republican candidate who now gets 20% excess votes beyond what they needed.

  4. PR with surplus and loser vote transfers via candidate rank order lists = ZERO *wasted* votes.

    IE — How *extreme* will a 50.1-55.0 percent Donkey/Elephant gang become —

    before it blows up into sub-factions ???

    See that recent Sweden PR election.

  5. The various occupied colonies also have *delegates* in the gerrymander Congress.

    Const Amdt –
    Uniform definition of Elector in ALL of the USA —
    Abolish minority rule USA Senate and E.C.
    PR and AppV — in ALL regimes.

  6. James Ogle / Demo Rep –

    Please limit your replies to one per post. When I see a post with 2 replies, I assume one is from each of you and I skip it. But when I see a post with 7 replies, I assume there’s an actual discussion going on and I click it. You guys have been making too many posts lately and you’re screwing up my system.

  7. I agree with Jim on this. I wish Richard Winger would ban them, as they add nothing to the conversation.

  8. Richard, I know you try to foster an environment of free speech, and I respect that, but this is getting out of hand. Ogle and Demo Rep add NOTHING to the conversation, just remove their comments and block them from commenting, so we can have some actual dialog.

  9. Jim, the only way I can make a reply comment of other’s posts or typo correction is by commenting on same post twice.

    I agree regulations in posts may be needed by limiting the number of comments is not one because sometimes we need interaction with each other.

    Interactions about coordinating with ballot access improvement certainly would be a higher priority than the comments calling for restraint or outright censorship.

    The censorship of political free speech between the candidates and party bosses is a detriment to fully educated voters.

    Having been blocked and deleted by the Green Party (1994 NOTA victory over my campaign for state voting reform through pure proportional representation), Google censorship and deletion of the posts when they got there name from my logo joogle, and the censorship of the Libertarian Party bosses of our team looking to bring unity among multiple candidates (Barr/Ogle 2012), multiple parties (Barr/Ogle ticket was Green/Libertarian) after the 52.7% victory despite being censored by Mark Hinkle (Libertarian) who was chair in 2012 when I won the Missouri primary by demonstrating the cross-gender and cross-party unity was damaging to the cause of free speech, competitive elections and pure proportional representation (PPR).

    That set us back because it doesn’t appear anyone cares about the incorrect manner in which advocates of ranked choice voting (RCV) in SF-style single-winner districts and the way a one-party system is now entrenched there much to our dismay.

    Now the same one-party system is being implemented in Maine and thus shows us how the attention against the three party system had been misdirected against our team while the obe-party system is being coddled and protected.

    America is a melting pot and because of the one-party system being implemented that is bad for competition of ideas and also blatant disregard for civil rights.

    Sure SF City Council has women and minorities on it but they are all there because the SF Democratic Party anointed them under their monopoly control of SF elections.

    We have serious issues that need to be discussed here (or?) and so calling for censorship within our discussion certainly appears undemocratic to me.

    One of my opponent in the Green Party primary is an established bully, slanderer and harrasser and the snuffing out of my free speech is the edge they would lijely promote here on BAN.

    We need to try harder to work together fast, there is no time to slow down, we can’t post enough nor post fast enough to get real competitive elections like in Cambridge Massachusetts.

    But the United Coalition is doing this, on multiple geo-levels simultaneously while others want to scatter shoot, censor and waste time instead of work together on the perfection that the United Coalition USA has brought to the table for more than twenty-three consecutive years.

  10. James Ogle – No one would care if you promote your United Coalition on occasion, when it is directly relevant to the topic. The objection we all have is that you spam its promotion in the comments under nearly every post, increasingly multiple times in each post, even when its relevance is highly strained.

    Try to limit yourself to one post per week about the United Coalition and one post per year about how Google, the Libertarian Party, and the Green Party have wronged you.

  11. What *dialogue* is needed ??? —

    1. ANTI-Democracy minority rule gerrymander legislative bodies
    — esp. with THEIR UNEQUAL ballot access laws

    2. ANTI-Democracy Party HACK exec/judic officers enforcing such UNEQUAL laws.

    3. DEMOCRACY remedies — PR and AppV

    Akin to the Brit tyrant ROT in 1066-1775 and slavery ROT in 1776-1865.

    This AIN’T a mindless Facebook list for pre-teens
    — I like ABC / I hate XYZ — songs, movies, TV shows, etc.

  12. Demo Rep has gone off the deep end. FBI for a harmless comment?

    Ogle, you continue to omit the fact you won Missouri primary because you were the only human candidate. You barely beat uncommitted. You also failed to mention this primary was completely non binding, and you were the only one with enough of an ego trip to plop down $1000 to see your name on that ballot.

    IPR banned you from their page because of your constant spamming. I hope Richard does the same here.

  13. If this person is posting from Colorado it could be one of the Green Party candidates for President that I am in a competition for in 2020 who had harrassed me for more than a few years starting in 1994 when I ran for Gov of California.

    He was abusive, he impersonated me and used my identity, but eventually he did come out for proportional representation.

    He will likely try to use our same message of unity and it will be extremely difficult to beat him and if it is the same person the only edge I have is that I have been working across party lines much longer and have a bigger team outside the Green Party.

    The Herd / Ogle [Libertarian / One] for US President 2020 campaign is ready and looking forward to the challenge in Colorado and across the USA.

  14. Impersonation is NOT a cute moron punk juvenile pre-skooool stunt.

    Try to impersonate the USA President, Sec. of DOD, Sec of State, USA AG, a USA Marshal, a USA Dist Atty, a USA judge — and see what happens.

    ALL sorts of FELONS, domestic and foreign, are doing FELON impersonations of real folks

    — subverting real email addresses [ie FELON fake emails], servers, computer codes, etc. [some relating to elections]

    Quite EVIL BAD enough having the recent flippant punk Prezs since 1993 — Clinton, Bush II, Obama, Trump — and their HACK stooges in various un-declared WARS, economic corruption [2006-2012 Great Depression II — FELON FRAUD subprime mortgages — Zillion dollar bailouts], insane annual govt deficits, etc.]

  15. Joogly: Everyone who is against my spamming is part of a secret cabal of party bosses bent on thwarting my plans

  16. Parties have rejected Ogle because he is a spammer and lives in fantasy land. He tried to run for President in 2014, when of course the office was not up for election. Think about that.

  17. ALL minority rule gerrymanders in ALL States ALL the time — since 1776.

  18. @Demo Rep: Did you really compare gerrymandered districts for the state legislature to concentration camps? That would be in very bad taste.

  19. JR-

    14,610,509 total votes = TOTAL Voters — bit more than Prez total votes

    — some folks do NOT vote for USA Prez / monarch.

    See CA SOS – elections site – 2016 SOV report — all sorts of data – ss / pdf.

    Precinct data used for new minority rule gerrymanders — as in ALL States.

  20. JK –

    REALITY CHECK —
    Gerrymander AREAS = political concentration CAMPS

    — creation of English House of Commons in 1200s
    — carried into Brit colonies in 1600s
    — carried into 1776-1787 State Consts
    — carried into 1789 USA Congress.

    700 plus years of gerrymanders — political concentration CAMPS.

    NOW in urban States —
    Ghetto city / old suburb BLACK communist Donkeys
    versus new suburb / rural WHITE fascist Elephants

    2016 Election — gerrymanders at work

    >>> pending Civil W-A-R II —
    possible start — Election Night Nov 2018
    — esp from the mouth of the minority rule Prez in the White House

  21. @DR,

    So if someone shows up at the polls, but don’t vote for an Assembly member, they’re not represented?

  22. JR –

    REALITY CHECK–

    the gerrymander winners who get *large* votes only represent the TOP gangster monarchs / oligarchs in the *leadership* – ie – Speakers in most lower houses — and follow the party line as robot HACKS.

    — esp with the higher percent gerrymander district winners — aka *get along* stuff — to perhaps become a top HACK later on — Example — see the USA H Reps top Donkey HACKS in 1955-1994.

    Such winners care about ZERO for any *representation* of the loser voters and the non-voters.

    How many nazis in the 1933-1945 Hitler Parliament voted against ANY thing ordered by Hitler ???

  23. Advanced students — with some time —

    A. 3,770,563 *25.8 41 LOW D WIN — above

    REALITY- MUCH WORSE minority rule math —

    B. Primary votes for the 41 low winner Donkeys in the 2016 general election

    C. The 41 Donkey Minimum votes to defeat the second place person in general election — ie to get Wasted winner votes.

    Media and Profs — too lazy or stupid to do any *advanced* math —
    except to count the number of gerrymander winners and losers.

    See media RAVING about which gang will get 218 of 435 USA Reps in the Nov 2018 election.
