TEA Party, Tea Party, tea Party, is it / are they a real political entity or just major party schills?
We are searching for an Amador County meeting of the Tea Party and would like to attend to consider joining

The Maine Green Party had its primary on June 8, but the ballot access laws for getting a candidate on the primary ballot of a small ballot-qualified party are so horrible, the Green Party had no one on its primary ballot for Governor, and there were no other statewide races. There were no Greens on the primary ballot for U.S. House either.
The North Dakota Libertarian Party had a primary and got enough votes for its two statewide candidates that they will appear on the November ballot. About one-half of 1% of all North Dakota voters chose to vote in the Libertarian Party primary.
The South Dakota Constitution Party had a primary on June 8, but the South Dakota primary ballot access laws, like the laws of Maine, are so horrible that no one appeared on the Constitution Party’s primary ballots except some legislative candidates. The party is in federal court against the law that kept its statewide candidates off the party’s primary ballot. They needed 250 signatures of party members and the party only has 345 registered members.
The Libertarian and Constitution Parties had Montana primaries on June 8, but Montana doesn’t print up primary ballots for qualified parties that don’t have any contests in their primaries. Everyone who filed for office in those primaries is deemed nominated, when there are no contests.
Id be interested in seeing turnout data for all of California. Were there third party primaries in other states on June 8th?
