This story explains that the New Mexico Libertarian Party will probably poll enough votes for president this year, so as to become entitled to its own primary for the first time.
On October 25, OneVote announced partial results for its Mock Vote. The Mock Vote is conducted in many schools around the U.S. This year, almost 300,000 votes were cast. The results: Hillary Clinton 47%; Donald Trump 41%; “other” 12%. Perhaps there is a breakdown of “other”, but I have not found it. It appears that Gary Johnson and Jill Stein, at least, were on all the Mock Vote ballots.
OneVote has been doing this starting in 1992. The winner of the student vote has always matched the identity of the actual winner.
