The Libertarians ought to be pissed if they lost 45K valid votes. I wonder what they will do.
Today’s Libertarian Party is not the Libertarian Party of Bob Barr (L party candidate in 2008), who would have stood with President Trump and demanded an investigation into the fraudulent loss of votes for the L party, even if it benefited Trump. I am not convinced that Jo Jorgensen would be willing to do anything that benefits Trump even if in so doing it benefits the Libertarian Party.
In many states, automatic ballot access in the next election for the Libertarian Party is dependent on how many votes they got in the previous election.
Otherwise, they have to spend money and time in securing a spot on the ballot in the next election.
