Instead of asking the list, or Kenton, why there are no results presented 
here for Ralph Nader, I decided to call the Clerk of Courts myself.  The 
Auditors office told me that results weren't included in those totals 
because Nader was a write in candidate.  I wasn't sure what the difference 
was, because as a VALID write in candidate, I presume the Board of 
Elections is required to count and report votes for him.

The person I talked to did, however, have the total:  926 votes for Ralph 
Nader of the Green Party in Latah County.  Nearly 3 times the COMBINED vote 
for Browne, Buchanan, and Hagelin -- who were all on the ballot.
