They received 804 votes, which while a small number compared to millions both George W. Bush and John Kerry received, was still more than some of the party-affiliated candidates received in Colorado. The Socialist Workers Party, Socialist Equality Party, Socialist Party, as well as the combined two competing tickets of the Prohibition Party all received a smaller number of votes.
