As already noted, on December 31 (Friday), U.S. District Court Judge Lance E. Walker ordered the Maine Secretary of State to put the Libertarian Party on the 2022 ballot. It has now been almost 3 days later and no general news source in Maine seems to have mentioned that news. The only media covered in “news.google” that has mentioned it is Reason Magazine. Here is the December 31 item by Law Professor Eugene Volokh for Reason.
Nobody cares.
Maybe 5,000 or more Libertarians in Maine care, but everybody is somebody’s nobody I suppose.
Ok. I’ll amend what I said. Nobody outside of the extremely small cultural subgroup of people who are concerned with the plight of minor political parties cares.
I’d amend that to say “Nobody outside of the small group of people who support free and fair elections cares”. The plight of minor parties in this country is a barometer of how free and fair our electoral system is as a whole, because a two-party system which is deliberately propped up via legislation and other policy and actions is neither free nor fair. It’s basically a one-party system with one additional party added for the false appearance of democratic legitimacy.
ANTI-Democracy minority rule gerrymander regimes in the USA regime and all 50 State regimes.

People who are interested in free and fair elections right now are concerned most with the stop the steal movement.
