JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — None of its candidates won, but the Constitution Party is celebrating success in Missouri.
Constitution Party treasurer candidate Rodney Farthing got 2.4 percent of the vote in last week’s election. That’s a large enough proportion to ensure the party a spot on Missouri’s 2010 and 2012 ballots. The party also will remain ballot-qualified in 19 other states.
Chuck Baldwin, a conservative Florida minister, was the Constitution Party’s presidential nominee and was on the ballot in 37 states. Baldwin wants to end the federal income tax and stop U.S. military intervention.
