Nebraska Presidential Primary Results
May 13th, 2008Nebraska held a presidential primary for the Democratic, Republican, Green, and Constitution Parties, on May 13. The Democratic presidential primary is just a beauty contest, since Democrats used a caucus in February to choose delegates. Here are the results, from the Secretary of State’s web page.

Is Don Grundman a stand in for Keyes? Baldwin?

The candidates in that primary were set in late February, which was before either Keyes or Baldwin was running, so it wasn’t a very meaningful presidential primary. Another reason it isn’t meaningful is that the party has already held its national convention!

I’m curious as to what the parties did in the same election in 04, 2000, 96 & 92 (if applicable).
Wasn’t the LP able to have a primary in the past?

The Libertarian Party still hasn’t turned in its party petition. It has been underway since 2007, but the party should have turned it in by Feb 2008 if it wanted a primary.

Mike Gravel got 4% of the vote in the Nebraska Democratic primary. I think that might have been his highest percentage in any state. However, he was one of only three candidates listed for president.
