This list isn’t comprehensive just yet, be sure to bring us up to speed in the comments!
Congratulations to everyone in the above list! God, we are such psychos here at IPR!!! I say that with the nicest thoughts behind it.
With 99% reporting, me and the other 8 Barr electors in Alabama got 0.2% – 4983 votes.
Darcy Richardson is listed as a contributor (not sure if he ever posted?). IIRC he was a Florida elector for Jay. 774 votes with 99% reporting.
George Phillies is an IPR reader. With 94% reporting, he has 470 votes (o.1%) for President in NH.
I will do the update when I finish my burger.
I don’t feel like looking up more results this second.
Here are some other people who comment here who were running…
Travis Maddox
Steve Linnabary
Susan Hogarth
more when I think of some
Wes Benedict
Good job! It’s great to see dedicated candidates like you spreading the libertarian message.
Hopefully some of you third-place electors are pro-American and will be suing to disqualify the votes for the demo/publican electoral slates for nominating ineligible foreign-born candidates.
Steve Trinward, Tennessee elector for Jay
Does Steve Trinward comment here?
Yes.
Example.
You’ll have to trust me on this.
Done.
Richardson was pledged to Jay. You got Barr.

Bill Lussenheide was apparently neither on ballot nor a certified write-in candidate.
His website says he’s running in 2010.
Ah, missed that…
In addition to Holtz, another candidate in the same race, Carol Brouillet was here too…

I wonder if we have any other races like that?
Ah, I didn’t realize that’s why Holtz busted into that thread!
My initial list was relatively small.
I am also a Barr elector in California, and I won a seat on my town’s Purissima Hills Water Board. (The latter was taken off Tuesday’s ballot because only two of us filed for the three available seats.)
The Catholic Trotskyist Party of America has no candidates or electors this year, but with the victory of Barack Obama and the expansion of the Democrati majority, it clearly had a very good night this election. It is disappointed about the defeats of Sheehan and the disappointing results for Kevin Barrett.
I know he’s not a commenter, but Ron Paul Republican BJ Lawson didn’t do well in his North Carolina house race. He did only a point or two better than the 2006 Republican candidate there.
What is up with Ralph Nader’s November 5 Movement?
http://www.november5.org
It seems like a good idea – a sort of Campaign for Liberty of the Left – but what an unfortunate name. The name “November 5 Movement” is too reminiscent of three-dozen different terrorist organizations called “The [MONTH] [DATE] Movement”, i.e., the November 17 Organization, Black September Movement, February 9 Group, etc. etc.
I know this is going to come off as horribly racist and I apologize in advance for that, but a bunch of Arabs running a group called the November 5 Movement could cause some people a moment of pause.
Timm Knibbs (me) came home from work, ate, and went to vote for 6:30 am. I voted and went home to sleep. Got up made supper and then went to work. I also received 323 (3%) as a candidate for state rep in CT 81st district. I do not know how may votes I receive as a presidential elector for Baldwin yet because he was a write-in.
(Reader) Arthur DiBianca got 3,432 votes in Texas House District 51. That’s 10.5%
http://team1.sos.state.tx.us/enr/results/nov04_141_state.htm
The use of “The [MONTH] [DATE] Movement†is common for political parties across the world, and I suspect (but am not sure) that those outnumber terrorist organizations on balance.
Post updated for Timm and Arthur.
I will find out write-in totals for my campaign for US Senate (Alabama) sometime between Nov 22 & 25
Also additional write-in’s for Charles Jay will be known at a later date

These are what I could put together before losing interest in the topic.
those outnumber terrorist organizations on balance
I, however, have not lost interest. Here are 4 to your 3:
Black September (Palestine)
November 17 (Greece)
February 9 Faction (Ireland)
February 12 (Uruguay)
I’d suggest names like November 17 and Black September are probably, in total, more widely known than that of a banned Vietnamese pro-monarchist party.
Here are six more.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fifth_Action
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_Movement
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2nd_of_Khordad_Movement
I’d suggest names like November 17 and Black September are probably, in total, more widely known than that of a banned Vietnamese pro-monarchist party.
Probably, though I don’t think that’s enough to mean the name will automatically receive that association. For that matter, not everyone is aware or convinced of the fact that Nader is an Arab, and I think at this point more Americans know V for Vendetta than Black September.
I agree with Fred.
BTW, anyone know more about the original topic?
If any readers who have had trouble with, or not bothered with, comment registration were candidates, you can email us your totals at

It automatically goes to all the IPR writers.
Bill Lussenheide will share the vote as a Presidential Elector for Chuck Baldwin in California who was a certified write in candidate in this state. Election total count pending in California.
Lussenheide is a candidate for US Congress CA-49 in 2010.
Here are six more.
No prob, I don’t mind playing whose is bigger. I need to dash to a meeting but I’ll be back in a few and post 8 more.
Brian – congratulations!
I’ll post something about Nov 5th if someone hasn’t already. It’s possibly the best thing to come out of the third party presidential race this year, in my opinion. It seems like it will be both a congressional watchdog group on a scale we have never seen before and a, as you said, Campaign for Liberty for the left.
I don’t know if this counts, since I was running as no.2, but I got 4669 votes (0.3%) as Chuck Baldwin’s running mate in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. This is more than double the votes the CP got in KY in 2004.
O.W.
(aka Robert E. Thornsberry)
Updated for Darryl, Bill, and Robert.
I might move the comments about dated parties when Ross makes the pertinent thread.
I was happy to be able to vote for Linnabary in OH.
I’m almost certain his vote total was larger than the margin of victory.
