The Libertarian Party vs. Chase Oliver

Chase Oliver and Mike ter Maat are the Libertarian Party's presidential and vice presidential candidates.

Two state affiliate parties vowed they would not submit Oliver 's names to appear on their state ballots.

One state, Colorado , announced in early July that it would instead nominate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. This week the secretary of the Libertarian National Committee used her legal authority to submit the Oliver /ter Maat ticket to Colorado 's secretary of state .

The LNC had private executive session meetings this week that discussed "potential litigation," which might have been related to this letter.

Oliver 's victory was hard-fought and narrow, only beating "none of the above" with 60 percent on a seventh ballot.

LNC chair Angela McArdle has made it clear her goal for the L.P. this year is to ensure that Trump wins the presidency.

Oliver 's position on trans issues is "straight out of the party platform," says Dasbach .

Dasbach says Oliver will appear on the ballot in all states where the L.P. is qualified.

"It's just a matter of Chase and Mike and our campaign working with the LNC and those state parties to address their concerns".
