I want my vote to count. I know the Libertarian couldn't win, so I won't vote for him. You may disagree with that logic, but that's the way most people who actually vote think.

If you vote for a Republican or democrat, your vote doesn't count. Either way you'll get the same thing. You'll get people who attack your civil rights, and make government larger, more expensive, and more intrusive. You'll never get anything different if you always vote for the same thing. And saying you won't vote for someone unless they can win is like saying, "I won't vote for that guy unless he doesn't need my vote". Politics isn't a horse race where you use your vote to bet on a winner.

That's a 6% drop since 2000...beyond a "standard" margin of error. Why the drop?

Assuming those numbers are correct it's easily explainable in the people's republic of california which is full of socialist idiots.

And if they're correct I stand corrected with regard to it being the most registered voters the party has had of all time. That would be back in 1999 and 2000 when Harry Browne was running for office. Either way the party is growing right now nationally even if not in the state of California.

I bet by tomorrow, I could have a 300% increase in membership. Then I'd be responsible for the fastest-growing party in America!

Let me know when your party has a presidential candidate on the ballot in all 50 states for 3 elections in a row, when you've got over 500 members in elected offices, etc.
