If anyone can help me with my question, I would appreciate it.
As far as I can tell, there are three states that have never elected a minor party nominee (who was not also the nominee of a major party) to a partisan office since that state started using government-printed ballots. These states are Arizona, Delaware, and North Carolina.
If anyone can identify any instance of a minor party nominee winning a partisan election in Arizona, Delaware, or North Carolina, I would be very grateful. You can either comment below or email me at [email protected].
I am aware there were People’s Party wins in North Carolina in the 19th century, but those happened before North Carolina had government-printed ballots.
