California:

1. Christine Smith : 25.1%
2. Steve Kubby : 17.0%
3. Wayne A. Root : 13.8%

No one else broke 10%. Phillies got 5.0%. Interestingly according to Eric Garris over at Third Party Watch Ron Paul may have actually won:

[I]t appears that Smith was beaten by “write-in votes.” The 12 ballot candidates received a total of 13,750 votes statewide, out of about 80,000 who are registered statewide.

A check of major counties shows that, in each case, the number of “write-in votes” exceeded Smith’s total. For example, in Los Angeles, the largest county in the state (making up a third of the state’s population) reported 2,157 write-in votes, compared to Smith’s total of 746. Orange County reported 1,279 write-ins compared to Smith’s total of 352. San Francisco County reported 145 write-ins, compared to Smith’s total of 86. Alameda County reported 138 write-ins, compared to Smith’s total of 133.

Unfortunately, the write-in votes will not be counted, since no one filed as an official write-in candidate, but one can make an educated guess as to what candidate LP registrants would write in.

Missouri:

1. UNCOMMITTED : 46.8%
2. Wanye A. Root : 18.1%
3. Steve Kubby : 9.6%
4. George Phillies : 8.0%

Arizona:

1. George Phillies
2. Wayne A. Root
3. Barry Hess
