Notes -
Why is the Chase Oliver / Mike Ter Maat ticket listed as as
Independent
on Alabama ballots even in counties such as Madison, whereLibertarian
is explicitly on-ballot for other positions?https://www.sos.alabama.gov/alabama-votes/2024-general-election-sample-ballots
Did they fail to secure some endorsement, or is there a more boring technical explanation?
From what I can gather, Alabama only recognizes the Democratic and Republican parties for state and Federal races. the Libertarian candidates on the ballot are all for local races.

🧐 Even stranger, Oliver is *missing* from the PredictIt market, which includes many unlisted and non-candidates such as Biden and Buttigieg.

Not sure. I know the Mises caucus of the libertarian party wasn't in favor of him.
