Richardson, page 235.〕She was the third woman to have run for vice-president in the United States. They won 1,645 votes versus the 22,821,277 of winners Franklin Delano Roosevelt and John Nance Garner. It was the only time perennial candidate Zahnd was known to have received any votes.〔Richardson, page 236〕 She ran again with Zahnd in 1936 at which point the party's name was changed to the Greenback Party. ==Notes and references==
