Voter Registration
Libertarian voter registration in the state of Florida has experienced significant growth.[2]
In 2016, the Libertarians held their first statewide primary for the US Senate.[6] The primary featured two main candidates: attorney Augustus Sol Invictus and veteran Paul Stanton. This election gained significant attention due to notable controversies and developments:
- **Augustus Sol Invictus**: Invictus garnered attention for his controversial cultural views associated with the alt-right. Additionally, reports surfaced alleging that he had been involved in a ritualistic act of sacrificing a goat and consuming its blood. These allegations led to significant controversy within the party and contributed to the resignation of then-chairman Adrian Wyllie.[7]
- **Paul Stanton**: Stanton, a veteran, emerged as the other candidate in the primary. He ultimately secured victory with a substantial margin of nearly 50%.
This primary marked a significant moment in the history of the Libertarian Party, demonstrating its growth and evolving influence in statewide elections.
In 2014, the Libertarian Party ran their first state executive ticket, with Adrian Wyllie for governor, Greg Roe for lieutenant governor, and Bill Wohlsifer for attorney general. The Wyllie/Roe ticket garnered 3.8% of the vote, a record for the Libertarians in Florida.[9] Wohlsifer got under that, with 2.9% of the vote.[10] The highest percentage that the Wyllie/Roe ticket got in a county was in Citrus County, where they received 7% of the vote.[11]
Down ballot, Lucas Overby got the second highest percentage a Libertarian has ever gotten in a house election, with 24.7% of the vote.[12] Many people at the time attributed it to the lack of a Democrat on the ballot.[13]
In 2010, the Libertarian Party of Florida (LPF) made significant strides by fielding a statewide candidate for the first time, namely Alexander Snitker, who ran for U.S. Senate.[25]
In the subsequent 2012 election, the Libertarian Party of Florida fielded multiple candidates for various positions:
Calen Fretts[26] for Florida's 1st congressional district.
Peter Richter.[27]
Franklin Perez.
Jonathan Loesche[28] for the Florida House of Representatives.
Additionally, the LPF fielded several candidates for various county and municipal races across the state.
In 2012, the Libertarian Party of Florida faced legal action when Franklin Perez, the 2012 Libertarian candidate for the Florida State House of Representatives (District 28), sued the party. The lawsuit arose from the LPF's failure to refund a candidate filing fee after de-vetting Perez and removing him from the party's state website. The courts ultimately awarded Perez $620.[29][30]
Presidential nominee results
Since 1972, the Libertarian Party has run a candidate for President of the United States. The candidate who has received the highest vote total in Florida was Gary Johnson in 2016. In every election year after 1984 the Libertarian Party has gained ballot access in Florida.
