Liberty Union Party of Vermont had its own presidential primary on March 4, 2008. The results: Brian Moore 178, miscellaneous write-ins 221.
The last time Liberty Union had its own presidential primary in Vermont was in 1996. At that time, the results were: Mary Cal Hollis 674, miscellaneous write-ins 165. Both Moore and Hollis were also the Socialist Party’s presidential nominee at the time.
Vermont does not have registration by party. Any primary voter is free to choose the Liberty Union ballot.
I have this suspicion that a great many of those write-in were for either Ralph Nader or Barack Obama. Probably some for McKinney as well.
I wonder if Vermont will release individual write-in results to see what names were written in most often.
