“A mystery of the 2020 election was solved Tuesday as it became clear the Montana Republican Party paid for an effort to qualify the Montana Green Party for the ballot this election,” the Missoulian reports.

“Earlier this year paid petitioners appeared in Montana’s larger cities gathering signatures to qualify the Greens to run candidates this cycle, even though the Montana Green Party has made clear it did not do any work to qualify for the ballot this year and had not planned to run any candidates.”

5. I thought Gary Johnson was the Libertarian who almost lost 2016 for Trump by more votes than Stein.

Jacob Hornberger is leading so far in the 2020 Libertarian Primaries.

6. I mean that the Trump administration has pleased many libertarians. The Kochs

won. Fewer libertarians are going to vote for a third party candidate. Trump is Ayn Rand.
