1860 presidential election

Not entirely sure why Breckenridge was the "third-party" candidate, when he received many times the electoral votes that Douglas did... AnonMoos (talk) 14:38, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

I assume the argument is that technically Breckenridge was nominated by a breakaway group and that Douglas was the nominee of the continuing Democrats. Or else it's based on the popular vote. Timrollpickering (talk) 09:50, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Douglas received 29% of the vote. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.250.206.188 (talk) 18:53, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

1824 Presidential Election

Is it worth discussing this four way race (Jackson, Clay, Adams, and Crawford) which ended up in the House of Representatives? The reason to exclude it is the country had a one party system at the time and all the candidates were Democrats. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.250.206.188 (talk) 18:54, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Last third party to get electoral votes

I'm wondering why it says George Wallace was the last third party candidate to get electoral votes when the Libertarian Party candidates Hospers and Nathan got an electoral vote from Roger MacBride. Tonie_Nathan John_Hospers Libertarian Party (United States) Is there a reason to exclude them? Chuck Baggett (talk) 00:31, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

@Chuck Baggett: Yes, we should include them. However, it is important to note that Wallace was the last third party candidate to win one or more states, as the electoral vote cast for Hospers was via a faithless elector. MB298 (talk) 01:31, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Hide / show captions

Any objection to adding captions next to each [show]?

Thus, under Gubernatorial it could read the full caption "Notable Third Party Gubernatorial Performances (1820s–1850) [show]" or a minimal "(1820s-1850s) [show]" or any variation, depending upon how one formats the captioning. As it is, all that can be seen until each is clicked is an uninformative column of "[show]"s. GeeBee60 (talk) 11:26, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
