The Bangor Daily News has this story about the Maine Libertarian Party. It quotes the state chair, Chris Lyons, as saying that the news that the party is ballot-qualified for the first time since the period 1991-1992 has caused a great upsurge in support for the party.

The New Hampshire Libertarian Party also experienced substantial growth in 1991, after the party had unexpectedly and surprisingly become a qualified party in that state in November 1990 by polling over 3% for Governor. Within a few months, four state legislators had switched to the Libertarian Party. Thanks to Thomas MacMillan for the link.
