  •  Anderson (none / 0)

    He got 7% of the vote which is a little lower than he was polling, typical for a 3rd party candidate.  If he is included, that would be a -2 for the challengers, which still makes 1980 a healthy Net +4 for the challenger.

    The only time there was a 3rd party candidate in 1960s was in 1968 when there was no incumbent running, so it doesn't have any effect on the incumbent rule.

    Rules are good. Break them.
