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.

According to Time Magazine, the elections were “Fortified”.
Let’s try this: Dems stole votes from Republicans, Libertarians, Patriot Party, Green Party, and anyone else because Biden plus all of his dead and imaginary voters still couldn’t beat Trump.

serious, if Trump won by 1 billion, the dems would stall until they came up with 1.1 billion votes.
Nothing else is relevant.
As I recall from listening to one of Bannon’s guests, the Dominion software switched ALL the libertarian votes were switched to Biden. It was one of the many frauds committed in this past election.
In any case, people are allowed to vote their consciences as they see fit, even if they are 3rd party votes. If I were only allowed to vote Dem or Rep, and not allowed to cast a protest vote for a 3rd party candidate, I would simply not vote for either candidate, as would most people I believe. Further, honest votes for Biden are legitimate and as foolish as you or I think, people who honestly believe Biden the better candidate, have the right to vote for him, whether you or I like it.
The only objections we have is the right to object to voter fraud! And that we must do, loudly and effectively; neither of which seems to be happening.
Agreed. The criminal Biden was not elected. Not even close. He was installed by foreign powers via fraud and coerced last minute, illegal voting rule changes. We are an occupied territory.
BS, they cheated. Evidence is obvious.
Third parties allow people to vote their conscience. If the pubbies are too stupid and corrupt to prevent fraud and win on merit then they deserve to lose.
Why do we assume that all libertarians would go for Trump as their second choice?
Many libertarians are right leaning, but others are mostly about free drugs, free love, and open borders.
YEP!!! No other excuse/explanation is worth the slightest consideration.
YEP - squared!
Nyet.
Definitely YEP!
Corrupt Republicans cost us elections. Sheesh.
Illegal, fraudulent and unverified ballots and jimmied computer tabulations elected jao xiden.
I think plenty of Johnson voters went Trump in 2020, like my uncle. The people that wasted their vote on the likes Jo Jorg were never gonna vote for Trump, and I’m not sure if half of them wouldn’t have preferred Biden, certainly it would have been a lot more than none of them.
There is always gonna be a Libertarian party candidate on the ballot, Jorg was as weak with as little mainstream appeal as we could have hoped for.
Dominion and Smartmatic elected Biden
You can’t be too sure of that...as the Libertarians are very vocally and proudly 100% open borders. People should be able to enter as they please “whether or not they have the blessing of the government.”
The writer of this tripe is just another DUmbass trying to make the commie puppet seem legit.
