Lauren Rasmussen, June 21, 1984 -
VP candidate for Independent (2016)
Running mate with nominee: James Vincent Hrenak Jr. (b. 1982)
Popular vote: 0 (0.00%)
Electoral vote: 0/538
The campaign:
James Hrenak Jr. and Lauren Rasmussen appeared to be co-workers at the Poc Network, based in Las Vegas, Nev.
Although their ticket ran what could be charitably called a low-key campaign without issuing a platform, one does pick up a vibe that leans progressive in their social media posts of 2016.
Hrenak/Rasmussen were registered as write-ins only in the State of Minnesota as near as I can tell. No votes were reported. If they had emerged victorious they would have faced two potentially game-ending scenarios. First, both candidates were under the mandated age of 35, and second they were residents of the same state.
Election history: none
Other occupations: stagehand, worker at Poc Network
Notes:
Rasmussen was in Florida before she moved to Nevada.
