Having just checked out yesterday’s voting results here in NC it dawned on me that there may have been a plan to keep any of the Libertarians from a presidential candidacy so they won’t hurt Trump’s run. As people believe the Libertarian vote tends to dilute Republican votes more than Democrat ones

It’s just a theory based on what I observed from working the polls here in NC. We only had one and only one unaffiliated voter who decided to vote Libertarian. I only know how he voted bc we only had one request for a Libertarian ballot.

I was the only Republican and a Judge in my precinct so I had to sign off on the printed out scanned ballot results from the DS2000 machine that voters feed their paper ballots into. We then have to copy the results again to a report file for the county. We turn these both into the county along with the computer disk so they can download the results into the state computers

So this guy voted no preference for the Libertarian presidential candidates on the ballot. At first I thought he didn’t know what he was doing. But after looking at the Liberterian presidential results here in NC I found the biggest results for the Libertarian Presidential candidates was over 40% for a non preferred candidate. So just like what people did to Nikki Haley in New Mexico the non preferred candidate won here in NC. .

Here’s a link to the state results in my state of NC so you can see for yourself: https://er.ncsbe.gov/?election_dt=03/05/2024&county_id=0&office=FED&contest=0

What do you see in your states for the results for Libertarian Presidential Candidates?
