From Richard Winger at Ballot Access News:
On November 4, Constitution Party member Ronnie Broughton was re-elected to the Webster Parish, Louisiana School Board, in a partisan election. Because he was unopposed, that office in his district was omitted from the ballot.
Also on November 4, Constitution Party member Randy Fontenot placed first in a partisan election for Police Chief of Eunice, Louisiana. He was opposed by two Democrats and two Republicans, and got 40.8% of the total vote. Because no one got 50%, he is in the December 6 run-off against a Democrat. He is likely to win because his Democratic opponent only got 23% of the vote in November. Because the Constitution Party is not ballot-qualified in Louisiana, Fontenot’s name was on the ballot with no party label whatsoever next to his name. He is a registered member of the Constitution Party, and in November 2012, was the lead presidential elector candidate for the Constitution Party.
“In some states we had members get elected as Republicans, does that count?”
No.
In some states we had members get elected as Republicans, does that count?
If they are party members and get elected, then at least in some sense they are that party’s elected officials even if they were not on the ballot that way.

I’m surprised you didn’t already know?
Question for Cody Quirk. Why do you hate the Constitution Party so much? Everything I read from you is an attack on the CP, why?
“We should count them because fuck the state’s criteria.”
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
We should count them because fuck the state’s criteria.
Why should we count these folks when they are not a ballot qualified party?
Yeppers.
