If libertarians had voted for then-President Trump last year, he would have won. As close as the 2020 election was, it could have been a lot closer and far more complex — and its outcome reversed. Libertarian voters could have flipped the three closest states and sent the outcome in favor of the House of Representatives and Trump’s reelection bid.
Jo Jorgensen, the Libertarian Party candidate from South Carolina, won 1,865,724 votes, just 1.18 percent of the total votes cast. Her campaign received minimal attention and her vote total seems equally insignificant, until its huge impact in Biden’s three closest states is seen.
Had Jorgensen’s votes in each of the three closest states gone to Trump, he would have won all three. Not only would he have won all three, Trump would have won Arizona and Georgia by multiples of the margin by which he actually lost in them — and he would have won Wisconsin by almost the same margin he actually lost it by.
(Even without PA) Trump’s flipping of Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin with libertarian votes would have delivered 37 electoral votes to him — and pushed him into a 269-269 tie with Biden.
Under any conceivable scenario, had the votes cast for the Libertarian candidate gone to Trump, he would have won reelection.
For over a century, third parties have been American political spoilers, most recently in 2000 when Ralph Nader pulled away enough votes from Al Gore to throw Florida and the election to George W. Bush. What is not appreciated is that this just occurred on a much larger scale. America just missed having its most dramatic modern election, one that would have made the actual 2020 outcome pale in comparison.

When will “Freepers” and all the other GOPee perpetual suckers wake the hell up? The quisling traitors in the GOPee voted in overwhelming numbers for The Big Steal! From the State Legislatures that were GOPee majorities, to the House and Senate, to the VP in the White House, to the USSC itself! Damn near every effing one of the GOPee politicians voted to stick a shiv in Trump and then took the biggest schitt in political history on their own people on January 6th! Yet here we are slobbering all over the same GOPee crooks, shills, criminals, and quisling traitors bullschitting themselves that we all need to crawl over broken glass to vote, vote, vote in 2022 for the same basterds that voted to ensure there will never be another legitimate election again in the now defunct USA. Get a clue, people! The Libertarians didn’t cause the electoral catastrophe of 2020. The GOPee did by their feckless, gutless, and spineless failure to protect and defend the Constitution when the crisis was upon us! GOPee Delenda Est!
Ditto
My libertarian son voted for the libertarian in 2016 but then Biden in 2020. In North Carolina no less!
And all those invisible libertarians were showing up at Biden’s rallies, too. Perot cost Bush the election, that’s it, didn’t happen this time.
The election was rigged. The entire national security establishment was in on it and they decided to take Trump out. All the elite media got the signal and they went to work. Chris Wallace and Bob Woodward’s interview of Trump earlier in the year prior to the election were power pieces where they both said to him “you will not be reelected”. The fix was in. Trump won a larger percent of the minority vote than any other president. He won. The election was rigged we all know it. And they know we know it that is why the fences are still up at the capitol.
however....
TRUMP ALREADY WON THE ELECTION BY A LANDSLIDE.....
Libertarians have costed this country as much, or more than flat out democrats.
The Dominion elected Bidet.
And dumbasses like the git that wrote this article are assuming that it was a free and fair election. It was free and fair. The one side was “free to cheat” as needed, and the other side shrugged shoulders and said “ fair enough”.
The losertarians gave Democrats the senate as well.
BS fake votes did!
Libertarianism is rank corporatism on steroids. It doesn’t even work. Just look how it spoils things.
Sorry, the RATs would have ginned up the votes needed to win regardless.
What do u think all the pauses in counting votes across the country were about?
They needed to know how many votes to gin up.
The libertarian party are just a spite party meant to draw voters from Republicans. Their leadership is filled with fake libertarians who are Democrats. I once attended Libertarian Party meetings and the majority were also Jewish although I am unsure why.
People voting libertarians vote for “none of above”. They will likely not vote for anybody.
The biggest influence was the exclusion of Green party. In 2016 Greens were on almost all ballots. In 2020, they were only on like 24 ballots (forgot exact number). They were allowed only on states like Ca or NY where the Dems would win anyway, or on states like UT, where Dems had no chance. Dems spend lots of money and efforts to exclude Greens from almost all battleground states (in MI they somehow managed to make it).
Talking about disenfranchisements!
No, the DemoNazis would have “found” as many votes as they needed to win.
Biden and the Democrats count on the “non existent” voter to put them over the top. They are very easy to please, and if anyone notices, just threaten the wronged voters with “domestic terrorist” status, and they will shut up. Clearly, the “non existent” lobby was hard at work to get Biden to pander to these voters. Of course he always panders to the “dead” voters, being brain dead himself.
the SorozNaziDNC stole the election, patently so.
but... if the article’s data are correct — I would add that Libertarian votes should have gone to PDJT. Everyone could see that the election was going to be subject to another DNC theft operation... like it was in 2016 (and they nearly did steal it successfully then)
it is all well and good to vote for a small third party to make a statement when.... it won’t risk losing the election (or letting the commie/nazis steal the election). Or, of course, if it appears that the third party candidate really does have a chance of winning.
The idea that libertarians put Biden in the White House is ridiculous.
FRAUD from the oligarchy (Globalist/Dem/Liberal/Media Axis) put Biden in the White House combined with the surrender brigade of the GOP.
Libertarians are social leftists in substance as I’ve witnessed over the years.
They believe the secret to life is lightly regulated selfishness. It is why Ben Shapiro is NOT invited to my militia despite him driving lefties nuts which is good.
Libertarians unfortunately tend towards .....THEORY too much and not enough to ....PRACTICE.
In Florida, issues like Felons allowed the vote, removing capital punishment, lowering the age to vote, and allowing electronic voting are on the ballot to change Florida's Constitution.
On the same ballot is legalizing marijuana. Guess who lift themselves from the couch to aid those spurious Dem issues?
It's the Libertarians.
