Some Republicans Covet Libertarian Ballot Line

WSJ:

The search for ballot access has led some Republicans to look toward the Libertarian Party, which has gained access to 31 states and expects to be on all state ballots by the fall.

“The interest in what we are doing has certainly grown,” said Nicholas Sarwark, chairman of the party’s national committee, adding that the Libertarian convention in May would be open and fully contested, though former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson appears to be the favorite.

Still, Mr. Sarwark said he doubted that delegates at the party’s convention would smile upon “someone with a lot of money or name recognition” trying to secure the Libertarian nomination at the last minute.
