* The Rhode Island seat is vacant. The winner there, Mexidus (CvP), was permabanned. (Dillon Smith (UIP) of Hawaii was also permabanned, but the seat there was awarded to Chimichonga Barbosa.)


The United States Workers Party finished with a solid election, winning big in states like Florida, New York, and California. However, many of their votes went towards piling on for their "big state" candidates. If the votes had been spread around more evenly, they might have added even more states to their win column.

The Conservative Party had a solid election as well. They had 12 winners under the CvP banner, but Kyle321n is a Nationalist, and, as mentioned previously, Mexidus of Rhode Island was permabanned, presumably for multi-accounting. That leaves them with ten, still pretty strong for the third largest party in the nation.

The big winners of the March elections may have been the United Independents Party (full disclosure: I am a member of the UIP). The UIP finished third in the final tally, despite only being the fifth largest party with slightly over 300 members. They may have been helped by the fact that all of their election winners were actually from their party - none were "sixth party" candidates. Additionally, there weren't really any landslides in the UIP victories (Oregon maybe being the only exception). This allowed the party to spread their votes around quite effectively.

The big loser in this election is probably the Libertarian Party. Despite having over twice the membership of the UIP, the Libs were only able to garner six spots in congress. The Libs didn't see their numbers shrink due to sixth party candidates either - six wins was the grand total under the Libertarian banner. There were some small victories, however, as they saw impressive victories in Michigan (Chisholm came back after being down most of the day) and in Alaska, a UIP stronghold (ghvandyk beating Justinious McWalburgson III by a comfortable margin).

America's Advancement Party made a push for the "biggest loser" title as well, finishing with just five congressmen. The small number stems from the amount of sixth party candidates running with the party. All three Federalists, two Nationalists, and the Socialist Freedom candidate all ran with the AAP.

Of the smaller parties, the Nationalist Party finished with four members, running under the CvP and the AAP. This was about status quo for the nation's sixth party. The Federalist Party was able to grab three seats this election, with Tiacha, Bill Brasky, and Gilroy (all ran with the AAP) winning seats, ending up one seat behind the Nationalists. The final candidate, Robert Bayer, of the upstart Socialist Freedom Party, won his election in North Dakota by a comfortable margin.
