  1. Probably worth mentioning that the former was also nominated by the Democratic Party and the latter two ran in races where a duopoly candidate was absent.

  2. It’s also worth mentioning that in New Mexico the Libertarian nominee for Auditor received nearly as many votes as Republican nominees in statewide races. His percentage of the vote was very competitive with the GOP which is the other party in the state with virtually no hope of winning.
