Independent candidate Evan McMullin plans to announce his running mate this week.
McMullin published a post on his website that called for voters to sign up to receive notification when McMullin announces his vice presidential pick.
“Thank you so much for signing up to be the first to know Evan’s choice for a running mate!” the campaign email reads. “We’ve got you on the list! Keep your eye out for an email from us later this week when we officially announce his choice.”

There’s little known about who McMullin will choose as a running mate. But we do know it’s a woman.
“I can't wait to announce my running mate,” McMullin wrote on Facebook. “You're really going to like her!”
McMullin made headlines back in September for accidentally picking a running mate. As Politico reported, McMullin listed “Nathan Johnson” as his vice presidential nominee, with the campaign saying that Johnson was merely a placeholder. The issue, though, is that eight of the nine states where McMullin listed Johnson require the former BYU grad to have Johnson as his running mate.
So who’s McMullin’s running mate? It's anyone's guess at this point.
BuzzFeed's McKay Coppins thinks he knows who it is. Read his report here.
