If GOP gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes doesn’t pull 10 percent of the vote in this year’s elections, Republicans will become a minor party.
What does that mean for Republicans, besides a little embarrassment?
The names of Republican candidates won’t be on top of the 2012 ballot alongside the Democrats’ names, said Secretary of State Bernie Buescher. They will be positioned along with other third-party candidates, the Libertarians and Green Party members and such.
“I think it is fairly minor — not to make a pun out of it,” Buescher said.
Maes won the GOP primary in August, but since then a number of prominent Republicans have defected, endorsing Tom Tancredo, a former Republican congressman running on the American Constitution Party ticket.
