Max Riekse, who ran for (and lost) the presidential and vice-presidential nominations of the Constitution Party, has now decided to join the New American Independent Party and has been selected as one of that party’s regional vice-presidential candidates. Riekse, as we reported here, was highly critical of the Constitution Party after failing to attain either the presidential or vice-presidential nominations. Riekse joins six other regional vice-presidential candidates in the NAIP and hopes to be placed on the ballot in Illinois and Michigan — neither of which does the NAIP have ballot access in. Mr. Riekse will be supporting Frank McEnulty, the NAIP’s presidential candidate.
