The Secretary of State of Nevada issues monthly tallies for the number of registered voters in each party. This news story notes that the Libertarian Party is the only one of Nevada’s four ballot-qualified parties that gained registrants during June. The number of independent voters, like the number of voters in the Democratic, Republican, and Independent American Parties, also declined during June. Here is a link to the part of the Secretary of State’s web page that has voter registration data.
It has been stated by myself and others that the statists are doing the LP’s work for us, and it seems that these data, as well as data from other States, bear that out: as the suffering engendered by politicians becomes more acute, acceptance of the Libertarian Party grows.

w00t!
I examined the voter reg. numbers of the month of June & May, and that news article, along with Richard’s take on the numbers, is incorrect.
For example, the IAP had 67,299 total registered voters for the month of May, and yet for last month the IAP had 67,630 total registered voters.
In fact the IAP gained more registered voters last month then the Libertarian Party did!
So it looks like this article, as well as the one that’s linked, needs to be greatly corrected.
See for yourself-

I have always consistently used active voters, ever since I have been tracking voter registration data for over 20 years. I have always made that clear. Cody is using inactive voters. They aren’t validly registered any longer, because the post office told elections officials they have moved away from the address at which they are registered.
