The New Mexico Libertarian Party has never had a government-provided primary. The only minor party that has ever had its own primary in New Mexico is the Green Party, which had one in 1996, 1998, 2000, and 2004. The state requires a party to meet two tests to have a primary: (1) a vote of 5% for a statewide office; (2) registration of three-tenths of 1%.
New voter registration data shows that the Libertarian Party now meets the registration test, which it had not met earlier this year. If the party polls 5% for president on November 8, then it will be entitled to its own primary in 2018, assuming that its registration is still above three-tenths of 1% in January 2018. The Green Party also meets the voter registration test, and has met it for over twenty years.
The new registration data totals for all parties is: Democratic 599,813; Republican 399,930; Libertarian 5,714; Independent American 4,661; Green 3,891; Constitution 359; Better for America 121; Party for Socialism & Liberation 64; American Delta 12; independent 242,106; miscellaneous 32,813. These figures are not on the state’s web page, except that the state web page does have the Democratic and Republican totals.
The new percentages are: Democratic 46.52%; Republican 31.02%; Libertarian .44%; Independent American .36%; Green .302%; Constitution .03%; Better for America .01%; Party for Socialism & Liberation and American Delta under .01%; independent and miscellaneous 21.32%.
The February 2016 percentages were: Democratic 46.28%; Republican 31.13%; Green .31%; Libertarian .26%; Independent American .18%; Constitution .02%; independent and miscellaneous 21.82%.
Although the Independent American Party also meets the voter registration test, it has no candidates for statewide office this year, so it can’t possibly meet the vote test.
The new World Republican Party is helping to revolutionize thinking by way of an ultra-conservative voting system under pure proportional representation (PR).
An inclusive voting system, loved by all parties and independents, PR allows for many multiples of alternatives for every line of Obama-care.
This is not about Obama-care yes or no. It’s about prioritising many multiples of alternatives simultaneously.
Nobody has it as good as the United Coalition.
We’ve been using pure proportional representation for more than twenty-one consecutive years and it works fine.

Expect the Donkey/Elephant gerrymander oligarchs in the USA and ALL 50 States to CRUSH all third parties and independents after the 8 Nov 2016 gerrymander elections.

I’m convinced these two above are the same person.
