On August 30, Tucson, Arizona, held partisan primaries for Mayor and other city office. No one had filed to be on the Republican ballot for Mayor, but a write-in candidate polled enough votes to be nominated. The only party with at least two candidates on the ballot for Mayor was the Green Party. See this story. The November 8, 2011, mayoral general election will be between a Democrat, a Republican, and a Green.
Cool! Wish my libs were running a candidate. Arizona is an LP stronghold.
How many write-in votes did the R’s need to get on the ballot?
#2 1.
There were 14 times as many voters in the Republican primary as there were in the Green Party primary.
