That is because the law lists the presidential candidates of the qualified parties before it lists the candidates of the unqualified parties. The Green Party is qualified in Louisiana. The qualified parties are listed in alphabetical order of the party names, and "Green" comes ahead of "Republican" in the alphabet. If Barr had been on the ballot in Louisiana, he would also have been above McCain's name, since "Libertarian" also comes before "Republican" in the alphabet. And, McKinney's best state was Louisiana. I'll amend the blog post to reflect Nader's best county being Morgan County, Tennessee. Thank you. McKinney was on the 2nd line on the Louisiana ballot, ahead of McCain.

I'm surprised McKinney did that well there and as well overall in Louisiana as she did. I lived in St. Bernard Parish in La. before Katrina.

Are those maybe towns? And yea, in practically all these places they amount to less than 100 votes. The C-SPAN/AP map shows nothing above 1.2% for Nader in Tennessee, or above 2% in Idaho.

Morgan, TN - 5.17% Lincoln, ID - 4.12% Not sure how solid those are or what the real story is there. BTW, not to down him or anything, but Barr's showing in Esmeralda County amounts to a whopping 12 votes. Dave Leip is reporting two counties that were better for Nader…
