The Constitution Party is now a ballot-qualified party in Vermont. That makes 16 states for that party. Exactly four years ago, it was only on the ballot for president in 12 states.
“Wow. It must not be hard to qualify in Vermont–can’t imagine there are many conservative constitutionalists up in Vermont!”
There are somewhat more than you might think, they are just widely dispersed. The far-left, ultra-progressive element which dominates in Vermont these days is pretty heavily comprised of people with roots from out-of-state; native Vermonters by nature are rather conservative in temperament, if not necessarily in politics.
Well, actually a lot of parties qualify in Vermont. In the 2008 gubernatorial race, 7 parties had candidates on the ballot. Trent Hill is right, whether or not there are many conservatives in Vermont. The answer probably depends on what you mean by conservatives.

Didn’t Vermont take several third parties off the ballot last time ?

That was New Hampshire. They removed both the LP and the CP for some reason.
