Victoria Tomalin

 




Victoria Tomalin, ca1998 -

VP candidate for Independent (2012)

Running mate with nominee: Raymond Sizemore (b. ca1995)
Popular vote: 5 (0.00%)
Electoral vote: 0/538

The campaign:

Raymond Sizemore was a 17-year old high school student in New Haven, Conn. who registered as write-in candidate for President in his home state in 2012. His running-mate was Vicki Tomalin of Scarsdale, N.Y. who appeared to be even younger.

An intriguing random image found online marketed "Write In Sizemore Jimenez 12 for President." As a matter of conjecture, perhaps Sizemore had originally selected Manuel Jiminez of Hamden, Conn. as his original running-mate (and misspelled his name) but discovered two people from the same state in a Constitutional problem (as if being 17 was not?). Just guessing. As it was Jiminez served as an Elector for Sizemore. But the real story of the entire Sizemore campaign remains obscure.

Sizemore was a conservative, called the "Black Reagan" by his friends. He expressed disappointment in President Obama's economic policies and mandated health coverage as well as disapproval of what he viewed as Romney's pandering.  

The Sizemore/Tomalin ticket received 5 write-in votes in Connecticut.

Election history: none

Other occupations: business system analyst, IT consultant, event manager

Notes:
Basically another mystery VP.
