Krystal Gabel has the most votes of any candidate in the presidential primary of the Minnesota Legal Marijuana Now Party. See the results here. Ironically, she did not want her name to be on the ballot.

Legal marijuana never!
Crystal and marijuana go well together.
She didn’t even want her name on the ballot? I’d like to hear more about this
She went into rehab, danmit!
Candidates who’ve withdrawn can’t win. Dennis Schuller is the winner of the Minnesota Legal Marijuana Now! presidential primary!
He should also go into rehab.
Oh great, someone besides AZ with complete gibberish.
Danny, do you have the flexibility to determine whose name appears on the ballot? Don’t you lose that authority once you opt to partake in the primary? If specific candidates decline, I suppose there must be a mechanism to decide their replacement, but shouldn’t that go to whoever got the next highest number of votes? If Willie Nelson got more votes than Dennis Schuller, shouldn’t Nelson be the nominee? Maybe it all leads to the same result.
All the dopeheads need to get off the dope and support Trump!
Trump is definitely way better than marijuana!
@James,
Minnesota permits each major party to designate its presidential candidates. Krystal Gabel is from Nebraska (and now Colorado) where she has run for numerous offices while advocating for marijuana legalization. The Nebraska party believes the Minnesota party is more of a spoiler party, but it has “major party” status in Minnesota.
The Minnesota party included her name on their list. Gabel found out about after she received a Google alert. The Minnesota party took her name off their web page, but it was too late to remove her name from the ballot.
Minnesota does not have party registration. In a ordinary primary, a voter marks their party affiliation (in secret) on the ballot. If they mark Democrat, but vote for a Republican, that vote is not counted. But in a presidential primary, they must select a party ballot. There is not a public list of voters, but each party is given the list of voters who requested their ballot. This satisfies the demands of the national parties.
About 1/2 of 1% of Minnesota voters selected the LMNP ballot. Some might have been mail voters. A typical voter might look at the list of names, and thought, “I’ve heard of her”. 18% of voters wrote in a name.
A removed comment apparently said she didn’t want her name listed. Did she or didn’t she?
