Jo Jorgensen Wins Libertarian Party Presidential Nomination

preview

In a day-long , after four ballots, the 1,035 delegates assembled for the Libertarian Party's online convention selected Jo Jorgensen as their presidential candidate.She won with slightly over 51 percent of the vote (not every delegate voted in every round) on that fourth ballot, with 524 votes. Jacob Hornberger came in second, with nearly 28 percent of the vote. Vermin Supreme came in third, with 20 percent of the final vote.Reason ran an , a lecturer in psychology at Clemson who was the party's vice presidential candidate on a ticket with Harry Browne in 1996, on Thursday.The party's voting procedure involved six candidates officially in nomination: Jorgensen, , , , , and . (Members could vote for other people if they wanted, or for none of the above, and many did.)Jorgensen led the vote in every round, though she was only 12 votes ahead of runner-up Jacob Hornberger on the first ballot. As per the party's procedure, the lowest vote getter in each round was technically eliminated for the next one.Kokesh was eliminated after round one, Gray after round two, and Monds after round three. Jorgensen's lead grew with each round, to 82 votes over Hornberger on the second ballot and a 126-vote lead on the third. Hornberger's support remained pretty steady, rising only to 285 from his first-round 236 votes.Jorgensen vowed to "make this the most successful campaign we can" in a speech after the results came in. Runner-up Hornberger said in a concession speech that he "hold[s] her in the highest respect and esteem."Joseph Bishop-Henchman, an at-large representative on the Libertarian National Committee who is running for its chairmanship this year, said in a written message on learning of her victory that "Jo Jorgensen has proven that she is a fighter, and will serve as a great contrast to the 70+ year old men she's taking on. She brought a remarkably diverse group of Libertarians together."Jorgensen's will be selected in a second vote scheduled for tomorrow. That rate is much lower than the numbers used in the horrifying projections that shaped the government response to the epidemic. The Clemson psychology lecturer and 1996 Libertarian vice presidential candidate got 51 percent on the fourth ballot. The ruling says the state's top health official exceeded her statutory authority by ordering "nonessential" businesses to close. She sees government COVID-19 restrictions as "the biggest assault on our liberties in our lifetime." It's full of ill-conceived and contradictory guidance.
