This thread serves as a platform for readers to share news, opinions, and stories about third parties and independent candidates that may or may not be covered elsewhere.
Furthermore, we kindly request that readers adhere to our Civility Policy. Please refer to the website’s footer for a comprehensive list of current policies.
