I’m not sure why so many think that a libertarian would vote for a Republican. Almost to the person, the libertarians that I’ve met are more Center-Left than anything else.
As Alaska, I’ll have to disagree with it being an anomaly. The Democrats in Alaska elected Murkowski. Alaska has a Senator and House member, neither of which getting a majority.
There aren’t enough democrats in Alaska to elect anyone. It is more accurate to say that moderate Republicans elected Murkowski.
Look, it is like a runoff election, except you pre-vote on it. If there had been a runoff, it probably would have ended up the same way.

Libertarian in AZ dropped out and endorsed Masters. I know the GA Libertarian is more of a kook, but the typical L voter is more in the Ron Paul zone, at least here in Texas.
Every Libertarian I ever met was just a libtard that wanted to smoke dope.
