  1. More hours of math torture.

    NONPARTISAN execs/judics via Approval Voting — pending Condorcet = RCV done right.

  2. Hank – it would be difficult to determine any trend from those years. There are only 5 Gubernatorial elections in odd years and those are split between the two 3-2. In Presidential years there are 11. There are 36 in mid-term years.

    But, I can tell you that the LP has increased its Gubernatorial vote total in every Presidential year since 1980. It was 392,890 in 2016, 345,244 in 2012, 260,413 in 2008, 187,464 in 2004, 160,930 in 2000…

  3. @ Hank:

    Good point. Someone needs to help Richard create a web site that would show comparative stats over time.

  4. ALL stats before latest election === useful ONLY for historians.

    Olde stats —

    Europe folks into N+S America 1492 onwards

    Slaves forced into N+S America 1492 onwards.

    N+S American Indians wiped out by above – war, disease, starvation, etc.

    Etc.

    First election stats

    — in olde England – House of Commons [1200s]
    — in olde Brit Am colonies – VA, MA, etc. [1600s]
    — in early USA States [1775-1787]

    Etc.
