"The most astonishing result of the night came from Idaho, where Mike Crapo, a Republican and a Mormon, scooped 99.5 per cent of the votes. His Democrat opponent was Scott McClure, whose name did not appear on the ballot."

He wasn't on the ballot because he failed to file the necessary paperwork to do so because he decided to run at the last minute. Did your illustrious newspaper neglect to mention that little tidbit of information? Hmm?

He still, however, was allowed to run as a write-in candidate. :gulp:
