On January 7, Roberto Mondragon died at the age of 85. He was the Green Party nominee for Governor of New Mexico in 1994. Also he had been the Lieutenant Governor (elected as a Democrat) for two terms before 1994. He is one of only two Greens who ever polled more than 10% of the vote for Governor.
Mondragon polled 10.26%; Richard Whitney in 2006 polled 10.36% for Governor of Illinois. Each of them was responsible for making the Green Party a fully ballot-qualified party in each of those two states.
See this story.
Roberto Mondragon received 5 votes for Vice-President at the 1972 Democratic National Convention. When she heard the vote,
the Secretary of the Convention reported it as “five votes for Mao Tse-Tung.” The record was later corrected.
In 1994, Mondragon received more than the difference between the Republican and Democrat candidates for Governor. This
made Gary Johnson the minority winner. In 1998 Governor Gary Johnson was re-elected with 55% of the vote – the majority
choice the second time.
No one cares retard.
Yeah. Real classy.
Secretary of the convention reported correctly.
