LP drew 3x what the Greens did in PAin 2016. Damn near all of those I'd expect to break for the Pubs.

Let's hope they get in there somehow.

The one person I know in PA who voted libertarian in 2016 would never have voted for Trump. If not for Gary Johnson he probably would have sucked it up and voted for Hillary. Possibly for Jill Stein, but definitely not for Trump. What drove me crazy was he said he'd have voted for Obama again in a heartbeat, but felt Hillary was too likely to get us involved in more foreign entanglements so he couldn't vote for her.

The article makes clear these parties will sue for access if they cannot get the signatures, to which my reaction is "oh HELL NO!" SCOTUS just heard a case about pandemic vs. election law in WI and said "tough shit Wisconsin". So I feel like they couldn't possibly change their own precedent......... right?
