Libertarian nominees for U.S. Senate this year polled approximately 950,000 votes, although an exact count is several weeks away and it may be somewhat higher. This is surprising, because the party only had nominees on the ballot in 13 states, the fewest for U.S. Senate since 1990.
There are always 33 or 34 U.S. Senate seats up (not counting special elections). The most Libertarians who who were on the November ballot for U.S. Senate was 23, in 2000. Thanks to Greg Kaza for this news.
I did my part. I voted for Don Kissick for U.S. Senate in Ohio, even though I didn’t pick the Libertarian ticket for President and Vice President.

EQUAL VOTES TO ELECT EACH
How does this compare to past combined Libertarian Party for US Senate vote counts?
Every state is a sovereign nation state.
It’s illegal to vote for a Libertarian in New York.
My elected representatives know me and know my name. And I know them. All the way from my county commissioners to the President Elect. Let’s keep it that way.
Better results than child abuse supporter Chase Oliver.
This is why we can’t have states with nonWhite majorities and uncontrolled immigration.
I voted for Libertarian Feena Bonoan in Florida for US Senate as well as for Chase Oliver for President.
We didn’t have a Senate race this year, but I voted for Republican Donald Trump for President in Georgia.
George Whitfield is a fucking moron, voting for child abuse supporter Chase Oliver.
Also voted for Trump in Georgia.

This is too funny!
It requires a signup.
At a glance, it doesn’t look like there were any particularly impressive or unusually high % results.
This year’s Senate map is the most populous of the three cycles, it includes most big states, and those 13 Libertarians were mostly on the ballot in large or at least above-average states (not CA, but NY PA TX FL MI WI MN MO OH etc.) So less a high result, several didn’t even place 3rd, but there were simply more voters with an LP Senate candidate on their ballot than usual, even with the smaller number of states covered.
So they had even fewer candidates than normal, and those candidates averaged an even smaller percentage of votes than normal.
