Default Re: Libertarian Party threw the election to Democrats!!!!

I think this sorta shows the fallacy of not having a runoff when no one gets 50% of the vote.

BTW, I'm a Libertarian, and I used to vote for Republicans when there was no Libertarian running, but ever since the Republicans have been in complete control of the federal government but failed to reduce the size of government, and focused more of their time and energy on reducing freedom than expanding it, I have just left my ballot blank on races with no Libertarian candidate.

I'm Libertarian (or at least usually vote Libertarian), but if they don't have a candidate running I always side with Democrats except in very rare cases. Don't think that all Libertarians would've voted Republican otherwise.
