    There are probably some other independents elected to state legislatures besides the one in Wisconsin. I would be surprised if there aren’t any in Vermont, Massachusetts, and maybe other states.

    Good news for the Greens, but sad to hear about the Progressive Party’s losses. I hope they will recover.

    Either you’re a Republican/Democrat or you’re something else, you can’t be both Trent. Your friends should come out of the closet and register Libertarian already.
