This article describes what the Minnesota Independence Party, and the Minnesota Libertarian Party, are doing to get ready for the 2014 election. Minnesota is the only state in which parties that are not ballot-qualified can sometimes get public funding, and the article mentions that the Libertarian Party and the Grassroots Party do qualify for some public funding. They have that status because they got over 1% for a statewide office in 2012. For the Libertarians, Gary Johnson got 1.20% for President. The Grassroots Party in 2012 polled 1.07% for Tim Davis for U.S. Senate.
