Delaware results

edit

The Delaware primary results may be worthy of note, as not just Rocky's strongest showing in the 2020 R primary season (12% with a few precincts left to be heard from) but better than any showing against Trump of the campaign. However, I've yet to find a reliable third-party source noting these things, and the 12% is close enough to Bill Weld's 11.8% in Maryland that the latter claim may be gone by the final tally. --Nat Gertler (talk) 16:18, 9 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

However, it's not noting those things but it has details on republican candidates. Is it going to help? https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/07/07/us/elections/results-delaware-president-republican-primary-election.html Mommmyy (talk) 09:21, 19 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
We have plenty of sources that show that the 11.85% is accurate (the NYT is still missing a precinct.) However, we don't have sources that show that it's significant. If we had a table listing results in all states, we could certainly source the result, but to just mention the Delaware result means that that is somehow a special result, and we would need some source calling attention to it as a particularly interesting result to do so. That, I've not found... to my surprise. --Nat Gertler (talk) 12:52, 19 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Dropped out of Connecticut?

edit

The New Haven Register has stated that Rocky dropped out of the Connecticut Republican primary.

I'm dubious, seeing how other sources have been talking about his candidacy there without making such a claim. I would think there would be real coverage of the dropping out when it happened, considering the forces that were after him to do so. I have seen misperceptions elsewhere that because he had gotten the nomination of another party, he had dropped out of the Rs, but as 2016 showed us, he does not feel limited to a single party. --Nat Gertler (talk) 21:17, 19 August 2020 (UTC) Adding: Given that his vote was counted, he appears to still have been officially a candidate. --Nat Gertler (talk) 21:23, 19 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Removing Delaware

edit

The Alliance Party has a map indicating that Rocky has write-in ballot access in Delaware. However, Delaware required write-in candidates to be registered, and he does not appear on the state's registered write-in list, which has been updated within the past couple days. (And no, he doesn't appear on the on-the-ballot list, either; I thought he might be American Delta-ing himself on that way.) As such, I am taking Delaware off of the 2020 General Election list. --Nat Gertler (talk) 22:58, 20 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Rocky invoked in 2020 presidential lawsuits

edit

My initial instinct is that this is far too trivial to include, but I'm putting it here for later reference: The Detroit News reported that an affadavit reported that Fox News reported that Rocky was leading in one county with 41% of the vote counted. I'm not sure what this is evidence of, as those 8,833 votes somehow shrank to 16 votes when 100% was tallied (more in line with his statewide results), and Trump won the county. --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:53, 26 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
