The Washington Post has preliminary election returns for Governor at this link. The Post lists all candidates who were on the ballot. The names of the states are missing, but they are in alphabetical order.

The Wyoming results are faulty because they omit the significant write-in vote.

Here is a link to the Post’s election returns for U.S. Senate. The Nebraska abbreviation “PEC” means “Petitioning candidate”, which is the Nebraska term for independent candidates.

The New Jersey Senate returns unfortunately omit the party labels. Those labels are: LaVergne “D-R Party”; Schroeder “Economic Growth”; Sabas had different labels in different counties, but mostly used “We Need More”; Boss had different labels in different counties, either “NSA Whistleblower” or “NSA Did 911”; Baratelli was “Libertarian”.

Utah requires parties to poll 2% for any statewide race in order to retain qualified status. The only statewide race this year in Utah was the Attorney General’s race. See here for the results. The Libertarian Party polled 3.89%; the Constitution Party polled 3.25%; the Independent American Party polled 2.63%.

The Libertarian and Constitution Parties each polled over 2% in 2012 as well, and because parties get four years of ballot status when they meet the vote test, those two parties were not at risk of losing their status. But because they did exceed 2%, they are now also on the ballot for 2018.

The Independent American Party is now ballot-qualified in Utah and New Mexico. It had no nominees on the ballot this year in New Mexico, but because it abstained from running for Governor, it continues to remain on the ballot. Once a party is ballot-qualified in New Mexico, it stays on the ballot until it chooses to run for either President or Governor and fails to get one-half of 1%. Other parties that continue to be ballot-qualified in New Mexico are the Libertarian and Green Parties.

New York defines a qualified party as a group that polls at least 50,000 votes for Governor. Before the November 2014 election, the qualified parties were: Democratic, Republican, Conservative, Working Families, Independence, and Green.

As a result of the recent election, the two parties organized by major party nominees for Governor, to give themselves another line on the ballot, also each got over 50,000 votes. The six older parties all retained their qualified status. The two new parties are the Women’s Equality Party, which backed Democrat Andrew Cuomo, and the Stop Common Core Party, which backed Republican Rob Astorino. Each of them polled more than 50,000, but not much more.

The Conservative Party got more than 210,000 votes for the Republican nominee, and it will retain the third line on the ballot. The Green Party received more than 165,000 votes for its own nominee, and it will be on the fourth line. The Working Families Party polled over 108,000 and will be on the fifth line. No news story mentions the Independence Party’s vote total, except to say that it polled less than the Working Families Party’s total, but did poll enough votes to retain its qualified status. UPDATE: here are unofficial results from the New York State Board of Elections web page, for Governor only. Thanks to UncoveredPolitics for the link.
