Zero, but in 2004, one Minnesota Electoral vote was cast for John Edwards. This is somewhat unusual since the Electoral college has pledged to vote for the winner in each state. In general terms, an Electoral voter would have to "defect" in order to vote for an independent.

What minor party's role in the 2000 presidential election contributed to the defeat of the Democratic party candidate?
Ralph Nader's Green party won over 97000 votes in Florida which was much greater than the 537 vote difference between Bush and Gore in that state and Florida's 25 electoral votes were enough to tip the election to Bush.Of course one can not say how these people might have voted if Nader was not on the ballot. There were several other minor parties on the ballot. People who voted for Nader knew they were making a protest vote and did not like either of the major party candidates.
