[edit] Notes

  1. ^ a b The Prohibition Party suffered a schism in 2003. Long-time Presidential Candidate Earl Dodge was the nominee of one faction, while Gene Amondson was the nominee of the other. Both factions were on the ballot in Colorado, with only Amondson on the ballot in Louisiana.
  2. ^ a b On ballot in Colorado.
  3. ^ a b The Socialist Workers Party ran in two different slates. Their official slate of Calero/Hawkins were ineligible to be President, so in some states the party attempted to use their 2000 slate of Harris/Trowe.
  4. ^ On ballot in Minnesota
  5. ^ On ballot in Utah.
  6. ^ On ballot in California.
