‘But like I said earlier, a third-party candidate hasn’t won an electoral vote since 1832.’

Wrongo.

In the 1912 Presidential election, Progressive Theodore Roosevelt garnered 88 electoral votes.

In the 1924 Presidential election, Progressive Robert M. LaFollete garnered 13 electoral votes by winning the state of Wisconsin.

In the 1968 Presidential election, American Independent George Wallace garnered 46 electoral votes by winning the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. In North Carolina, one Nixon elector cast his vote for George Wallace.

Try again...
