Third Party and Independent Candidates for Office 2010

I just updated Poli-Tea's list of third party and independent candidates for office in 2010. The list focuses on declared third party or independent candidates for governor, US Senate and House with active websites, and now links to almost 250 aspirants in 42 states! Noteworthy this time around were the high number of Green Party candidates in Illinois and the large slate of Libertarian Party candidates in Texas.

Because of the focus on candidates with active websites, the list is not entirely comprehensive. It was compiled with the help of the 50 State Pages at Politics1 and the Green Papers' extensive election pages. If you are interested in finding out about all the candidates in your state or district, those two sites are a good place to start.
