Minor Party Primaries Results and Discussion

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

depending on who the Libertarians nominate and how Biden's campaign goes I could see Hawkins (or Hunter if he manages to win, which seems more likely than it used to) getting 3rd place. Granted, it'd be like, 1.2% vs 0.9% or something but still

Don't think anyone said this, but Hawkins has announced his running mate: Angela Nicole Walker (Socialist-SC)

New Mexico Constitution Party also rejects Blankenship in favor of Samm Tittle

As I've posted elsewhere, would've been really interested to consider who could've tried an Amash/Ventura outsider celebrity bid to take over the CP, as it seems like along with the Greens and the Libertarians they are also experiencing a controversial sweep.

You failed to mention that the VP candidate is going to be J.W. Fakes creating a Tittle-Fakes ticket.  

Speaking of which, J.W. Fakes appears to be a little wacko. I wonder if the Virginia CP will follow suit in supporting this ticket, or if they're sticking with the not running Amash. (Edit: they are) Even if the Greens and Libertarians aren't schisming this year (TBD), at least we're seeing one national third party do so!

I think Libertarians are gonna crash relative to Johnson, and Greens will dip a little too. The moves by Hawkins suggest to me that the Greens and SPUSA could merge if he stays powerful within the party. Considering that the SPUSA is pretty small now it wouldn't be huge but...

Reform Party delegate vote was:

De La Fuente: 17
Abramson: 4
Zion: 1
Faas: withdrew

I see that the whole Reform Party membership turned out. Quite amazing

So this is the end of the primaries for third parties, really the only thing left is for the nominee apparent in the Green Party to be declared so in the upcoming GNC.

The Veterans' Party still haven't picked their nominee yet (perhaps Max Abramson will win his 3rd bid in a minor party after losing the Libertarian and Reform nominations), but otherwise, this seems to be it among 3rd parties with ballot access.

What even is the veterans party
