If 20,000 Libertarians moved up to New Hampshire and declared themselves to be Republicans (or Democrats), started attending county meetings and working on campaigns, they could easily hijack the party and get their candidates elected.

At my county level, 10 activists were able to take over the entire delegation and boot all of the RINOs.

If 20,000 people sent one letter per month to local newspaper editors and attended one local city council or selectmen's meeting, they could take over the whole state.

I know this group. I took part in discussing the ideas they had, including Sorens, at the early point when they only had about 200 members. Momentum is gaining, they have a few thousand members I think now, but the problem is that they're not a group made of Libertarians, they are a loose group of self-proclaimed Anarchists and Communists among many other little factions of politics. Some of them want to ultimately secede from the USA.

They can't even decide on a fair voting system to use when deciding on which state to "overrun", let alone which state and how. They'll cause a little hoopla, I'm sure, but it's doomed to become what they despise. The political rift-raft that join the cause will jump ship before anything politically substantial on a state level is achieved.
