The Constitution Party won a lawsuit. The Constitution Party won a spot on the ballot. And yes, the Constitution Party won in an election.

Sort of.

Rick Jore, of the Montana Constitution Party won a seat in the State House of Representatives in the November 2, 2004 election, becoming the first State legislator in the nation to be elected on the Constitution Party ticket.

Jore is not a newcomer to the Montana Legislature. He was elected to the Montana House as a Republican in 1994, 1996, and 1998.

(Note that it was really Jore's name recognition that won the election.)

Is that the only one? I wasn't counting that one, because "a later recount and court ruling gave the seat to the Democratic candidate Jeanne Windham."
