Nearly all POTUS petitions in Illinois challenged

SPRINGFIELD -- In the final hours of the petition objections period, objections were filed in Illinois against four presidential slates for the November general election. Jeff Fiedler filed the first objection of the day against the Libertarian Party's presidential slate, which currently had placeholder candidates in Scott Schluter and Lex Green, presumably held for nominee Chase Oliver and running mate Mike ter Maat. No rationale was provided for the reasoning of the objection as of the time of publication. Fiedler […]

McARDLE PAPERS: The most corrupt committee in the national Libertarian Party

In Part 1 of this investigative series, Heartland Newsfeed unfolded what were apparent mistakes by the current Libertarian National Committee to reform the party. We also detailed the Committee’s fear of conflict, their conflicts of interest, their cults of personality, and other elements essentially halting progress in the party. Finally, we detail several key figures on the Committee who are problematic figures in the party. In part 2, we uncovered organizational and operational issues with the Libertarian National Committee, the […]

KNAPP: Third party?

America doesn't even have a second party

A June 29 Associated Press/NORC finds that 85% of Americans — including 92% of self-identified Republicans and 78% of self-identified Democrats — say “things in this country are headed in the wrong direction.” Meanwhile, national support for a “third” political party remains high — 62% as of last year’s Gallup Survey — yet no actually existing party outside the Democratic and Republican establishments seems able to get much traction. Third party labor in politics The Libertarian, Green, Constitution, and numerous […]

EDITORIAL: Debunking lies about Libertarians from recent article

Ah, the nonsensical drivel of Republicans crying over their cups of coffee over Libertarians. The most recent entry in this department was in the U.S. edition of The Spectator. This "article" is also a feature in the December issue of said magazine. The target: Libertarian voters who cast their vote for Jo Jorgensen on Nov. 3. Exhibit A: The logical fallacy of Libertarian votes "belonging" to Republicans Columnist Michael Warren Davis goes right to the logical fallacy. The fallacy: that […]

COMMENTARY: A New Illinois won’t fix anything, Alan Webber

So, I'm spending a half-day on my 34th birthday working on the website when I get bombarded with a bunch of Google Alerts. One of these alerts relates to anything relating to the state of Illinois. Among one of these alert blasts, this ridiculous op-ed today from the Kankakee Daily Journal was among them. Not even two paragraphs in did op-ed columnist Alan Webber make some factual inaccuracies: Webber states, "However, if you review election returns, Biden didn’t win the […]

Libertarian Ricky Harrington U.S. Senate

Decision 2020

EDITORIAL: Ark. U.S. Senate debate was the Harrington show due to Cotton no-show

Arkansas registered voters and Libertarians all over this country got to see a rare spectacle in politics Wednesday night. The spectacle: a one-man debate involving a Libertarian challenger to the current sitting Republican. That Republican, Tom Cotton, decided to decline and then no-show. That's right. For an entire hour and then roughly 15 minutes afterward for a press conference, the Arkansas PBS debate was the Ricky Dale Harrington, Jr. show. The lone opponent has grown to be a threat to […]

O’DELL: Don’t waste your vote on a Democrat or a Republican this November

Another election is quickly approaching us within the next 100 days. Once again, the Democrats and Republicans have presented their constituents with (arguably) the two most polarizing options possible. In 2020, that comes in the form of incumbent "Republican" Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden. Surely, it is going to be overwhelming for voters to watch candidates publish radio and television ad hominem attacks rather than debating relevant talking points. However, your voting options do not have limitations with these […]

KNAPP: America doesn’t have presidential debates, but it should

On August 6, the Commission on Presidential Debates denied US President Donald Trump’s request to increase the number of debates between himself and Democratic nominee Joe Biden from three to four. Trump’s case: The expansion of voting by mail means that many ballots will have been cast before the first scheduled fake debate on September 29. The CPD’s response: “[T]he debate schedule has been and will be highly publicized. Any voter who wishes to watch one or more debates before […]
