Proving that there is a huge advantage to living in a small population State, with lots of principled voters who stayed home rather than vote for the evil Democrat & Republican Party.
God bless those who said NO to evil (Republicans & Democrats), and stayed home on election day. They made this positive leap forward quite easy
Matthew 5:5 - Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

It's very hard to move people in the Dakotas toward something like a third party. It's just not their kind of thing. After all, God invented two political parties so we don't need more! : )
Maybe you have to know the Dakotas a bit to get what I'm driving at. Really nice people but they don't exactly live on the edge.
Even so, you can't ever win if your guy isn't on the ballot. So congrats to Bob Ellis and I wish him well.
