The only Nevada Libertarian candidate for statewide office, Brendan Trainor, running for U.S. Senate, received .9%. The party will go off the ballot. The party made a tactical error by failing to run for any of the less important statewide offices, such as Secretary of State or Auditor. Voters are invariably more generous with their votes for minor parties for these races, since the “wasted vote” syndrome isn’t as powerful, because few voters care passionately who wins the lower state statewide races. UPDATE: this post is erroneous. See the posting of November 12.
