Wyoming Libertarians Likely to Qualify for Major Party Status This Year

The Libertarian Party has been a qualified minor party in Wyoming continuously since 1994, except that between 2002 and 2004, it was a qualified major party. Major parties nominate by primary; minor parties nominate by convention. A “major party” is one that polls 10% for certain statewide races. One of the qualifying posts is Secretary of State. This year, as in 2002, the Democrats aren’t running anyone for Wyoming Secretary of State. Therefore, as in 2002, it is again very likely that the Libertarian running for Secretary of State will poll over 10%, giving the party its own primary in 2008.
