Warren Redlich was the New York Libertarian Party nominee for Governor in 2010. He polled 48,386 votes. If he had polled 50,000, the New York Libertarian Party would have become a ballot-qualified party for the first time. He might have polled the 50,000 votes, except that shortly before the election, a flyer was widely distributed that accused him of being a child molester, and warned parents to keep their children away from his home area. There was no truth whatsoever in the flyer.

Redlich sued the Republican Party nominee for Governor, Carl Paladino, in 2011. He also sued Roger Stone. However, they deny being the authors of the flyer. The case finally has a trial later this year. See this story. The trial had been set to begin on March 30, but it has been postponed. The case is Redlich v Paladino, Manhattan Supreme Court, 2011-109-005. Thanks to John Sproul for this news.
