1. They have to get 20,000 committed to move to one state. (hardest part)
2. Once they move, they all have to be on the same page in the new state. Will there be a John Hagelin/Pat Buchanan fight?
3. Where in the state will those 20,000 be? What kind of legislature is in the state? In Michigan, approximately 80,000 live in a state rep district, and approx 200,000 in a state senate district. If 20,000 libertarians move to Michigan, they may get one or two districts if they are CONCENTRATED there. In my district, Republicans beat the Dems with 67% and 73%. Libertarians would likely finish 2nd unless the dems team with them which will never happen. They may get a township or commissioner at most. State senate? Only if it's close to a 33/33/33 seat. Congress, Governor, or Senate? Not unless the natives join them.
4. Resistance from the natives. Carpetbaggers aren't liked, especially when they change the system. On the same note, they can't win unless they fireup non-registered voters, get them registered, and voting 3rd party. It's possible, but again not likely. College Towns are probably the best bet for help there. That's where the Greens do best.
I have to respect the Libertarians here. At least they are trying to do something besides bitch. We'll see what happens.
Yes ---I wish this project would work --it'd be interesting to observe ---get rid of welfare completely, all government programs and see what happenes. Obviously certain types couldn't make it if they had to make it on their own and would head off to places like California. I would possibly prefer living in a libertarian type place ---it'd be interesting to see one though.
