  2. I wonder how much of the 22% of the vote Patty Tweedle received was from voters voting against Republican Nita Ayres?

    Does anyone know if the LP has ever run a candidate before in this district, and if so how did they fair? If not how well do LP State House candidates usually do in three-way races in Missouri?
