“Representing the challengers, conservative attorney Alan Ostergren argued that the candidates were improperly nominated at the party’s convention because the delegates at the initial county conventions had not yet started their terms. State law says delegates start their terms the day after they are selected at precinct caucuses, but the Libertarian Party held county conventions the same day.”
Really seems like a self inflicted wound, isn’t it?
How hard would it have been to delay the convention until Midnight?
Libertarians here had similar organization issues:
“Under the Libertarian Party’s current constitution and bylaws posted online, candidates are supposed to be nominated by a mail or electronic election, unless the party’s board of directors lacks the money to run a mail election and votes to hold a convention instead. This year, the party scheduled a convention in Moro, but it didn’t have enough members show up to make a quorum.”
The Libertarian Party becomes more of a shit show every year. They really need a charismatic leader if they ever wanna make a name for themselves again.
That implies they ever made a name for themselves. :) I mean, I guess Gary Johnson in 2016? He hit 10% in the polling… just barely cracked 3% in the actual election though.

They could try running in real libertarian principals instead of whatever bastardized monstrosity they’ve become.

And I don’t think he had much charisma either. Definitely the strongest libertarian run that I’ve seen though.
