Mario Canseco – In 2004, John Kerry, running what is now considered as one of the most lacklustre campaigns in the Democratic Party’s history, was able to garner 252 electoral votes in the United States presidential election, 18 short of the 270 required to win the White House. In the end, Kerry’s total when the Electoral College convened was 251, after an elector from Minnesota mistakenly cast a vote for Democratic vice-presidential nominee John Edwards in the presidential category.
