The Republican primary was hotly contested, with incumbent Governor Carlos Camacho narrowly winning re-nomination with only 298 votes against future governor Paul McDonald Calvo. Despite this loss, Calvo ran a robust write-in campaign that was well-funded. He formed a third party in the territory called the Write-In for '74 Party, winning third with 28% of the vote and forcing a runoff between Camacho and Democratic challenger Ricardo Bordallo, the latter of whom ended up winning the election.Respico Rory Let Guam's voters know: Write-in or write-off? https://www.postguam.com/forum/featured_columnists/let-guams-voters-know-write-in-or-write-off/article_23452f30-c155-11e8-8b8c-df6c0134abc7.html 4 October 2024 Guam Daily Post 27 September 2018 Because of their official status as a political party, two Write-In for '74 Party members were appointed to the Electoral Commission, both of whom resigned their posts in July 1975 after the party officially disbanded.1974–1976 Election Comparative Analysis Report Guam Election Commission Agana, GU 3 1st and 2nd https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_3ylv378_szYVM4QVpWLW5ZSm8/edit?resourcekey=0-JRDFFF6mnhSWpcl94zVcwQ 4 October 2024
