On June 17, U.S. District Court Judge Margaret Strickland enjoined the ballot-qualified Libertarian Party from calling itself the Libertarian Party. Libertarian National Committee v Libertarian Party of New Mexico, 1:26cv-1562. Here is the order.
The order says, “This may require candidates running under the Libertarian Party of New Mexico name in this cycle to run as independents or seek the nomination of another party.” This seems stunningly naive. The Secretary of State was not a named defendant and was not otherwise brought into the lawsuit. If the Secretary of State continues to follow the election law and some members of the ballot-qualified party qualify for the general election ballot, this injunction cannot force the Secretary of State to block that candidate.
The ballot-qualified Libertarian Party has 14,399 registered members. The injunction makes no reference to their existence.
The “ballot qualified” party is the fake party.
With a write-in only ballot the state ballot monopoly would not print the names of candidates nor parties on the ballot. The state would count the names of individuals written by voters without regard to party affiliation, if any, of the candidates. It is difficult to see how such litigation could arise unless the plaintiff such as the LNC sued the individual candidates for trademark violation for referring to themselves as a “Libertarian” in their campaign literature. Libertarian is a generic term which cannot be trademarked any more than Democrat or Republican or Independent or Non-partisan or American. There no reputational inference that a person describing themself as Libertarian implies they are claiming membership affiliation with THE Libertarian Party Inc.
The trademarked term Libertarian Party refers only to one particular organization. If the term Libertarian cannot be used on the ballot as a cue to voters, then opinions as to its influence on election outcomes would be conjectural. Election campaigning ought NOT be censored in any way by the selective inclusion or exclusion of labels on a ballot other than that of the candidate themself. The only way to treat all candidates equally is no affiliation labels for all. Would you have the state print religious affiliation labels in the ballot?
Religious affiliation labels actually sounds like a great idea.
No need for any kind of ballots. Standing count solves all these problems.
How many factions / fractions in the LP –compared to other parties ???
IS THE SO-CALLED **LIBERAL PARTY** DEAD / ZOMBIE ???
The liberal party was stillborn. It was never going to go anywhere. It’s a temper tantrum.
There are an endless number of factions and fractions, most of which are jokes and/or don’t amount to anything.
Fights over state parties and the national party that end up in internal and external judicial proceedings keep growing and growing.
They are going down the crapper regardless of who wins those or any internal elections they have and regardless of how many dogcatchers they elect or how many elections they get blame/credit for swinging/spoiling or anything else.
They’re going down. And choking out.
They just don’t know it yet.

TT- THE BOSS ???
OF WHAT — THE COLLAPSE/FALL OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION ???
Liberator Trump is in fact the Boss of all Bosses, King of all Kings. He brings the world hope, he’s why we have nice things.
Fake news huffandpuffpost and the nAZi-666 spambot’s programmer are the real pathetic losers, like all Trump haters. Their tears are delicious and delightful.

LINCOLN POOL – BLUE VS TYRANT TRUMP VOMIT GREEN
HOW MANY YEARS TO CLEAN UP TYRANT TRUMP SCHEMES/ROT ???
USsr yesterday is of course fake news. If Trump was a tyrant, the nAZi-666 spambot would long since been deprogrammed. Its programmer would long ago have been tortured to death in a secret prison. This website would have been long gone.
Trump is a Liberator. The opposite of a tyrant. Bbq brain Biden was a Quisling of Xi Jinping and the CCP. THANK GOD FOR TRUMP!
Calling Trump a tyrant is low IQ nonsense
Trump is Boss and Christ is King! I love it!
Libtards love algae?
Donald Trump is the Don of all Dons, Trump of all Trumps, Lord of all Lords, President of all Presidents, Boss of All Bosses, King of all Kings, God Emperor, Second Coming of Jesus! He is Risen! Hallelujah and Amen!
The pathetic losers at huffpoo found some like minded wannabe mean girls on X and thought that was news?
Well I’m Donald Trump, the one they’re talking about, if you talk crap about me you’ll get punched in the mouth.
If you disrespect me, forget about it, forget it. Best case for you is you’ll survive to regret it.
I’m the Boss of all Bosses, King of all Kings. I bring the world hope, I’m why we have nice things.
Last time I took human form, I got crucified. This time around, I won’t be so nice.
If you think bad about me, stop trusting fake media. Go to conservapedia.com and read conservapedia.
But even if you’re not smart enough to, or have no eyes to see, you’re still smarter than to take seriously the spambot “AZ”
Other than the LSDFR fleshbot and the AZ spambot, the comments above are sensible.
@AZ,
How would Thomas Jones have included a mention of Lexington and Concord in the decision?
You did read the decision, right?
The founders grew cannabis and enjoyed smoking it.
This is how stupid the LNC and the recognized affiliate are.
This accomplishes NOTHING.
The former state affiliate in New Mexico is the legal entity vehicle for ballot access, not the Free New Mexico Party. And this is per the New Mexico Secretary of State. FNMP literally has SIX members, not enough to even be considered a state affiliate of the national party.
But I guess National would rather go bankrupt pursuing the baseless frivolous lawsuits of the McArdle Administration, and this is one that a majority of the current LNC — who have stated on the record — that they will lose the greater lawsuit in federal court.
It accomplishes something. The fake libertarians lost their right to market themselves as libertarian or get on the ballot as such. Your prediction is sour grapes and probably wrong.
The fake party made up of commies needs to be sued out of existence.
The McArdle lawsuit is stupid, especially when the current chair is an armed robber and the vice chair is full on antifa.
Both parties to this lawsuit are currently controlled by fake libertarians. The only legitimate libertarian party in the US calling itself libertarian right now is the LPNH.
LPNH kicks ass!
Jake Leonard has homosexual retard Knapp as part of his newsgroup.
Why are you gay?
Because it’s the lemon party! Like, duh!
