Patrick Blair
VP candidate for Independent (2016)
Running mate with nominee: Paul Elliott Blumenthal (b. 1945)
Popular vote: 12 (0.00%)
Electoral vote: 0/538
The campaign:
Paul Blumenthal of Norwalk, Conn. filed as a write-in candidate for US President in his home state for the 2016 election. Stamford, Conn. resident Patrick Blair was his running-mate.
Basically, theirs was a stealth, under the radar campaign.
The Blumenthal/Blair ticket had 12 reported write-in votes in the Nutmeg State, and the fact they were both residents of the same state would have posed a Constitutional problem in the event they had won.
