1. Elections for all elective executive offices and all judges should be NONPARTISAN — to get NONPARTISAN enforcement of the laws.

   NO primaries are needed.

   Approval Voting – vote for 1 or more, highest win — pending major public education about head to head math.

2. Percentages for each of them are:
   Republicrats: 97.558%
   Libertarian: 1.561%
   Green: 0.187%
   Constitution: 0.174
   Liberty Union: 0.010%
   Blue Enigma: 0.010%
   independents: 0.500%

   all votes other than the Republicrats: 2.442%

3. I note that Mike Munger of North Carolina won half of the Libertarian gubernatorial votes. How many races had a Libertarian candidate?

4. 5

5. In some ways the totals are a little misleading. The Greens only contested one Gubernatorial race (WV) where Jesse Johnson captured 4.5% of the vote for the second best none Dem/Rep finish in 2008. The best none major party finish in the country was Independent Anthony Pollina in Vermont (21.2%).

   While the Libertarians captured by far the most votes of any third party none of there candidate broke 3%. The LP’s best finish was in North Carolina where Michael Munger received 2.9% of the vote.

6. PTK,

   The Libertarian Party fielded candidates in 6 of the 11 races not 5

   Indiana – Andy Horning – 2.1%
   Missouri – Andrew Finkenstadt – 1.1%
   Montana – Stan Jones – 2.0%
   New Hampshire – Susan Newell – 2.2%
   North Carolina – Michael Munger – 2.9% (Best LP Finish)
   Utah – Dell Schanze – 2.6%

7. my bad, must have miscounted.

8. SuperDell got that much of the vote? Wow, people in Utah must be crazy.

9. Evidence that we in the CP need to run far more candidates for office, including for Governor.

   I do want to congratulate Missouri, Michigan, Nevada and Utah who ran large slates of candidates and who continue to provide a great leadership by example.
