  1. I heard there was a former Miss America running for US House in North Dakota. Did she submit petition signatures yet?

    If not, maybe she will submit signatures on Monday since that is the deadline.

  2. Here’s a question for Richard Winger. Do you consider an independent candidate a third party candidate?

  3. The petition requirement for independent candidates comes out to about 0.13% of the state population (1,000 / 780,000) and the deadline is September 6. (according to Ballotpedia)

    Compare to other states – the percent, the actual amount, the deadline.

  4. I consider independent candidates a separate category than minor party candidates. Generally I don’t use the term “third party candidates.”

  5. Would the cyberpig be a third party if Andy Gonzalez and Miss North Dakota went on a candy date?

  6. I thought Andy was the gay and the cyberpig was the bisexual between the two? Is it the other way around? Who wears the pants?

  7. Thank you Mr. Winger for answering my question. I’m going to start using minor party too.
