2008 GPMI Election Results
A very excellent commentary on the Green Party election results in Michigan from our Elections Coordinator, John Anthony La Pietra.
PRESIDENT:
Cynthia McKinney got 8,962 votes (0.1790%; 6th place). That's half again as high in both votes and percentage as Cobb in 2004, though roughly 1/10 of our result with Nader in 2000.
US SENATE:
Harley Mikkelson's 44,342 votes and 0.9133% share edge our best previous finish at this level, Matt Abel in 2000 (37,542 votes for 0.9008% of the total). However, both Matt and Eric Borregard in 2002 finished 3rd, while Harley and David Sole in 2006 both ended up in 4th. One reason for the loss of a position this year may have been that the Libertarians had a familiar and almost- famous name in the race: Scotty Boman.
US HOUSE/1st DISTRICT:
Jean Treacy (2,662 votes; 0.8138% share; 3rd place) had a few more votes than David Newland managed in 2006, though not above David's first try in 2004. And she finished 3rd, as David did in 2004 but narrowly missed doing in 2006.
US HOUSE/5th DISTRICT:
Ken Mathenia got 4,144 votes -- almost twice as many as he or Harley got in 2006 or 2004 respectively. His 1.3144% share of the vote was a new high for the race, too -- the first time GPMI has been over 1% -- but this year he was edged out by the Libertarian candidate (did Bob Barr have coattails?!) and finished 4th.
US HOUSE/6th DISTRICT:
Rev. Pinkney got about half again as many votes as our only previous candidate in this race, Randall McPhee in 2004 (who developed health problems which prevented him from campaigning). But his 3,496 votes and 1.0979% share were only good for 4th place, possibly because the US Taxpayers Party didn't have a candidate in the race this year to split votes with the Libertarians.
US HOUSE/7th DISTRICT:
OTOH, Lynn Meadows got more than twice the votes and percentage of our 2004 candidate in this race, Jason Seagraves. And considering all the money spent by the two major-party candidates in this race, her 9,529 votes and 2.9579% share (easily good enough for 3rd place) are a very good result. It could be that some voters remembered her from the 2006 ballot -- or that some people were disgusted by all the robocalls and other negative campaigning and just voted for her as a decent alternative.
US HOUSE/8th DISTRICT:
Aaron Stuttman built on his 2006 run, adding almost 1,500 votes for a total of 3,841 this year. And he held onto 4th place, getting over 1% (1.0616%) this time.
US HOUSE/9th DISTRICT:
Doug Campbell finished last, as Matt Abel had done before him in 2006. But Doug's 4,800 votes were only 137 behind the Libertarian this time. (Mind you, both of them together barely topped Kevorkian.) And, while Matt was slightly under 1%, Doug was well over it (1.3580%).
US HOUSE/10th DISTRICT:
Candace Caveny doubled her vote count and more (1,897 to 4,212) and added a whole half-percent to her vote share (0.7020% to 1.2147%). She did still finish 4th, but she too was much closer to the Libertarian this year -- and this time, unlike in 2006, there was no US Taxpayers Party candidate to possibly hold down the Libertaran vote.
US HOUSE/11th DISTRICT:
We've had two previous candidates for 11th District US House -- though the first time was in 2000, when the districts were different. So it's fairer to compare Erik Shelley's run with William Boyd's in 2002. Boyd had a higher percentage and a higher-place finish (3rd, ahead of a UST rival). But Erik topped 5,000 votes for the first time (with 5,059) -- good enough for 1.4714% of the vote.
US HOUSE/12th DISTRICT:
Again, we've had two candidates in a race with this number on it -- but again, one of them was in 2000 when the 12th District was different. Comparing Bill Opalicky this year to Art Myatt in 2006, we see improve- ment in votes (1,735 to 3,841) and percentage share of votes (0.7226% to 1.2298%).
US HOUSE/13th DISTRICT:
George Corsetti set a new high figure for a GPMI candidate in any US House race, with 9,579 votes -- breaking Aimee Smith's old record of 9,443 from 2006 and edging out Lynn Meadows by 50. He also joined Aimee as the only Michigan Greens ever to top 4% in a US House race (though his 4.2416% is still second to Aimee's 4.5667%). He easily took 3rd over his Libertarian opponent, and more than doubled the vote count and share of 2004 GPMI candidate Thomas Lavigne. There may have been a particular reason or two for this good showing which was out of our control -- but good on George, and the rest of us, for taking proper advantage of that reason.
US HOUSE/14th DISTRICT:
Clyde Shabazz's 8,012 votes against John Conyers (in a race with no Republican and only a Libertarian opponent to pick up that slack) only put him in 3rd place. But I believe that would also be our 4th highest vote count in a US House race ever. And I know it's twice as many as our two previous candidates in the 14th (Lisa Weltman in 2004 and John Litle in 2002) put together. It's a bit more than twice as many, in fact -- and twice as high a share as theirs put together.
US HOUSE/15th DISTRICT:
Aimee Smith got 7,080 votes (2.1599% of the total). That's not as many votes, or as high a percentage, as in 2006 -- when Dingell had no Republican opposition. OTOH, she was down by only about 1/4; the Libertarian and US Taxpayers candidates lost half or more of their votes. And 7,080 is still the 5th highest vote count for a Green in a Michigan US House race -- so she has two of the top five results.
MICHIGAN HOUSE/3rd DISTRICT:
Fred Vitale boosted his vote count by 1/3 (350 to 468) and almost held onto his vote share (1.8571% to 1.6492%) despite a big Democratic year -- and a Democratic candidate who wasn't an incumbent in 2006 but was this time.
MICHIGAN HOUSE/7th DISTRICT:
Derek Grigsby doubled his vote (622 to 1,342) and boosted his percentage (2.7755% to 4.3143%). His opponent in 2006 was term-limited this time, so he faced a different Democrat.
MICHIGAN HOUSE/24th DISTRICT:
Jody Beaubien was a first-time candidate, not only for herself but also for us in this district. Her 1,678 votes and 3.5252% share -- as the only alternative to the duopoly -- prevented the winning Democrat from claiming a majority. (Paging IRV and GOP?)
MICHIGAN HOUSE/25th DISTRICT:
Likewise, Richard Kuszmar was our first candidate in this district. In a race where the Democrat won by almost 30% and there were five parties represented, it's a decent result to have edged out the US Taxpayers candidate and been within 200 of the Libertarian (453 votes; 1.0611%; 4th).
MICHIGAN HOUSE/27th DISTRICT:
Shelly Bane got half again as many votes as Art Myatt did in this same district way back in 2002 (875 to 1,366) -- and she edged over the 3% mark he flirted with (2.9324% to 3.0717%). Again, this has been a heavily Democratic district -- the margin went over 3 to 1 this year.
MICHIGAN HOUSE/35th DISTRICT:
Franklin D. R. Harden was another candidate making GPMI's first foray into a race. In a district which the previous incumbent had built up from 4-to-1 Democratic to 8-to-1, getting 894 votes (1.9084%) meant being closer in ratio to the Republican than the Republican was to the Democrat.
MICHIGAN HOUSE/53rd DISTRICT:
Matt Erard more than doubled his vote count (847 to 2,199) -- and almost doubled his percentge (2.5111% to 4.5515%). That's probably partly name familiarization . . . but it may well also be partly from being affiliated with a party on the ballot this year (as he wasn't in 2006).
STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION:
Dwain Reynolds set new highs for us in this race with 94,856 votes and a 1.1211% share (topping Pete Ponzetti in 2004 and Kevin Carey in 2006 respectively). His 7th-place finish was good, considering he beat one of the Libertarians and one of the US Taxpayers candidates; the top third-party finisher was the other UST candidate, Karen Adams -- who may have been a familiar name: she'd run for U-M Regent in both 2004 and 2006.
U-M BOARD OF REGENTS:
Ellis Boal got 102,158 votes -- a total topped previously only four times, twice in this race (Scott Trudeau in 2000 and Susan Fawcett in 2002, the latter our top vote-getter of all time before this year). Ellis's 1.2299% share was again good for 7th place -- this time, behind the two Libertarians but ahead of both US Taxpayers candidates.
MSU BOARD OF TRUSTEES:
Therese Storm got 114,569 votes, topping our previous best in this race -- the 112,249 votes for Lauren Spencer in 2006. And Therese's 1.3747% share and 6th-place finish are second only to Lauren's 1.7371% and 5th. The vote count puts her fourth on our all-time list behind Susan Fawcett and Donnelly Hadden (whom we nominated for Supreme Court, also in 2002) -- and . . .
WAYNE STATE BOARD OF GOVERNORS:
Margaret Guttshall -- our new top vote-getter to date, with 140,169 votes. Her 1.7374% share is also our best percentage in the WSU race, and her 6th-place finish means she also beat one Libertarian and both US Taxpayers candidates. The fact that this was Margaret's third consecutive run for the position may have made some of the difference.
Allegan COUNTY/Lee Township Supervisor:
John Walker, the first candidate of our new/pending Allegan County local, placed a respectable 3rd in a reportedly very duopoly-controlled area with 113 votes (10.7008% of the total).
Calhoun COUNTY/Clerk-Register of Deeds:
John Anthony La Pietra got 2,502 votes -- good enough for 4.1090% of the total. And, on the surface at least, that 4%+ share seems to have come almost straight out of the Republican incumbent's share. To be sure, there were probably other factors which might have boosted the Democratic challenger's share this year -- but in 2004 the challenger got 41.285% of the vote and this year it was 41.2573% (with only about 350 more votes than last time). The incumbent's total went down almost 2,000 votes and her share and victory margin dropped 4%. And all this despite the fact that some people seemed not to know there was a third candidate in the race -- and despite the fact that some people who should have known better passed on a rumor that voting what Michigan law calls a "split ticket" (using that straight-party option at the top of the ballot but then marking exceptions to it in individual races) would cause the tabulators to reject the ballot. (Did anyone else face inaccuracies like that?)
Cass COUNTY/Newberg Township Clerk:
Korine Bachleda was RE-elected this year! She ran as a write-in in 2006 and got 19 votes -- because she didn't know then that she could run as a Green. After winning, she asked the County Clerk to record her as a Green. This year we nominated her as a Green -- and she ran unopposed as a Green, and got 419 votes. Of course, she couldn't improve her 100% share of the votes -- but at least 419 people noticed that she was on the ballot under our party's banner this year. . . .
Grand Traverse COUNTY/Commissioner/7th District:
We've had local candidates there before, but I couldn't find another race in that district -- so Tom Mair's 1,313 votes mark another first for GPMI. And he got almost 30% of the vote as the only alternative on the ballot to a Republican incumbent.
Macomb COUNTY/Commissioner/21st District:
Stephen Weed finished 4th (with 340 votes, 2.7885% of the total) in a 5-way race that resembled some of this year's state House races -- Democrat beats Republican by a big margin, Green beats US Taxpayers candidate but ends up behind the Libertarian.
Wayne COUNTY/Prosecutor:
Matt Abel followed in the broad electoral footsteps of Art Myatt as the only challenger to a metro-Detroit countywide figure. And, like Art, Matt would easily have re-qualified GPMI for the 2010 ballot -- if that were allowed. (The Bureau of Elections thinks not. OTOH, I don't recall them mentioning any cases, so that may just be their opinion. Anyway, we don't need to worry about it for now.) Matt got over 64,000 votes and over 8% of the total -- though exact figures are uncertain because sources differ.
Wayne COUNTY/Commissioner/5th District:
Dianne Feeley topped Matt's vote percentage in her district, with 2,840 votes (8.627% of the total) in another two-way race against a Democratic incumbent.
Wayne COUNTY/Commissioner/6th District:
Lou Novak had a tougher row to hoe in his race, but still topped 1,000 votes (1,029) and almost reached a 2% share (1.9038%) in his effort to defeat another Democratic incumbent.
Oh, yes, and one more result:
PROPOSAL 08-1 (Medical Marijuana):
Won with 3,008,980 votes (62.6629%) -- in other words, won by 25%+. The stem-cell proposal, on which GPMI took no position because our individual views were rather split, was much closer: it passed, but only by about 5.2% with 2,522,976 votes (52.6072%).

These numbers include all state-level recounts (finalized 12/20/08 by the Bureau of Elections) and equally-final counts from the respective counties. They don't do much to change the analysis Art posted back in November -- but for the sake of accuracy. . . .
