I was just looking at the current Georgia Senate vote and GOPer Senator Purdue is barely below the 50% threshold to avoid a runoff. Shane Hazel, the Libertarian candidate, has 2.3% of the vote and I suspect that he drew largely from right leaning voters.
SO, thanks go out to the Libertarian for getting Jon Ossoff through to a runoff.
Purdue 2,436,951
Ossoff 2,325,815
Hazel 112.618

AFAIK he does put his money where his mouth is though and votes for libertarians, so there is that.

...a bunch of my old friends back in AZ voted for Jorgensen (L). Almost all of them were Republicans. Two were Liberals, but voted for her because "legal weed and stuff".
There was an odd Libertarian wave going through central AZ. None of them actually provided a valid argument in support of the party, just the same old "everyone sux" that we get every election.
