[pp.int.general] USA pirates?

[Marcus Kesler]

True, but I have to point out that these percentages were obtained by
people running against only one other person. In Oklahoma the choice is
usually Republican vs. Democrat vs. (sometimes) Independent
(Green/Pirate/Libertarian). The two elections with the high turnouts had
only one Independent running against one Republican.

Also, these 4 candidates did not run as Pirates. They had our
endorsement but their official political affiliation was Libertarian x3
and Green x1.

Thanks,

Marcus
