Ballot Access News - The Libertarian Party had candidates for the office at the top of the
ballot in 35 states, plus D.C., last month. The 36 candidates appear to
have polled approximately 1,475,000 votes. The exact number can’t be
known until December 15, when New York releases its official election
returns. By comparison, in 2010 the Libertarian Party top-of-the ballot
nominees polled 1,015,009. The increase in the Libertarian vote was
44.8%.
The Republican Party vote decreased for the top-of-the-ballot offices from 43,507,666 to 40,851,521, a decrease of 6.1%.
The Democratic vote decreased from 41,043,721 to 36,759,972, a decrease of 10.4%.
The Green Party vote decreased from 508,041 to 405,621, a decrease of
20.2%. The main reason for the Green Party change was that it had a
candidate for Governor of California in 2010 who polled 129,231 votes,
but in 2014 no such candidacy was permitted.

The fact that the Republicratic Party can still get 77 million votes is an indictment of the intelligence of the American citizenry.
