American Independent Party

The American Independent Party was a viable third party that contested tbe 1968 US presidential election. The party was established by former Alabama Governor George C. Wallace Sr. and appeared on all fifty state ballots. Wallace and his running mate, retired Air Force general Curtis E. LeMay, received 13.5 percent of tbe popular vote and 46 electoral votes from states in tbe deep South. The party adopted right-wing and conservative positions represented by a call for “law and order” in reaction to tbe turbulent 1960's.

In 1969, representatives from 40 states established tbe American Party as tbe successor to tbe American Independent Party. In 1972, tbe party nominated former Congressman John G. Schmitz of California for president. In 1976, tbe American Party split into tbe more moderate American Party, which included northern conservatives and Schmitz supporters, and tbe more extreme American Independent Party, which focused on tbe deep South. Both of tbe parties have nominated candidates for tbe presidency and other offices.

The American Independent Party has held ballot status in tbe state of California since 1968 and is still active there. It is tbe state affiliate for tbe national Constitution Party, formerly tbe U.S. Taxpayers Party.
