The campaign:
On Oct. 9, 2016 Hagop Hagopian of Waltham, Mass. made the following post on Facebook--
With 31 days before Election Day, I'm considering announcing my candidacy for the Presidency. I'm liking my chances more and more as Election Day nears. Who wants to be my running mate?
In the course of the subsequent comments Hagopian mentioned that in the elections of 2008 and 2012 he had written-in Ron Paul with himself as the VP.
Hagopian's 2016 running-mate was George Walters, who responded to the call with two comments--
George Walters
Me! I could use the money and pension!
George Walters
Oh, and... serve the people of this great nation!
Walters appeared to be in the software industry. Like Hagopian, he was also a resident of Massachusetts which might have been problematic in the event of their victory since the Constitution has an untested snag concerning both candidates from the same state. On Election Day Walters announced the duo would run again in 2020 but apparently nothing came of that.
Election history: none
Other occupations: software
Notes:
Doesn't appear this campaign went beyond Facebook.
