The Libertarian candidate for Governor of Georgia, Garrett Michael Hayes, polled 3.84% last month. That was the best showing for any minor party candidate for Governor of Georgia since 1902, when the Peoples Party polled 6.39% in a 2-person race.

Hayes’ best county was Clarke, home of the city of Athens and the main campus of the University of Georgia. Clarke County is always one of the better Georgia counties for Libertarians anyway, but this is the first time Clarke had been the most Libertarian county. Georgia has 159 counties, more than any other state except Texas.
