What Ballot Access does to a Candidate’s Fortunes
In 1996, Louie G. Youngkeit received 19 votes in his homestate of Utah.
Four years later, in 2000, he secured ballot access in Utah and received 161 votes.
An increase of 847.37% in his vote total.
A google search also shows the number “739”. Perhaps an additional 578 voters wrote his name in in the other 49 states, DC, and the American territories?
All responding to his platform, of course. Getting what is rightfully his: the Howard Hughes estate… a fact that is obscured in the tangle web of history and a conspiracy cover-up that takes us from the assassination of Robert Kennedy and the Watergate break-in right on down.
Too bad Kenneth Starr ended up on the subject of Clinton’s bj, because if he had tackled this problem, we might actually know the real dirt on Clinton.
But that’s all politics: everyone knows the real scandals are bi-partisan (often above-partisan) in nature. Starr wouldn’t have been able to keep the dirt from flying off George Herbert Walker Bush.
