WITH A WHIMPER:

OLD PARTIES VANISH FROM BALLOTS (Richard Winger, August 1, 2002, Ballot Access News)

This year's election will be the first even-year election since 1868 at which no Prohibition Party nominee is on the ballot for any public office. The party still exists, and still publishes a newsletter, but none of its members chose to run for any office this year.

It was a noble failure, but a failure nonetheless. Posted by Orrin Judd at September 10, 2002 2:03 PM
