Chris,
A few years ago I remember the number of registered Libertarians being
at about 3000. Then we got newer data and someone (you?) reported that
due to bad addresses and such being pared from the official list, the
number had been reduced to around 1500. Consequently that's the number
I've been telling people. Now you list the total number of Reg-Libs at
2852.
Any idea whether I misunderstood something along the way, these
changing figures are related to the normal disarray of government, or
there has actually been a large recent gain in LP registration? (I
realize the latter explanation is unlikely, but it would certainly be
nice if true!)
Yours in liberty,

Hash: SHA1I'm sure that Mike would have gotten many more votes if Instant-Runoff
Voting had been in place. Also, he got the most votes of the three
candidates who were often excluded from forums and usually excluded
from
surveys and news stories. Most important, he spread libertarian ideas
to
countless people.That's true, Kelly, and thanks for pointing out the positives. I am
fairly
sure that there are a number of libertarians who voted for Newsom as
the
lesser evil, who would have ranked Mike higher with IRV.I'm also pleased looking at Mike and Ribera's relative results, as
single
representatives of their respective parties. Out of 57,842 registered
Republicans, 4,266 (7.38%) voted for Ribera; out of 2,852 registered
Libertarians, 788 (27.63%) voted for Mike. (On the other hand, out of
14,698 Greens, Gonzalez got 35,753 votes.)I actually think the biggest disaster of the evening is Prop. L's
passage. Unless it is successfully challenged (and I have no idea on
what
legal grounds it could be), I think it's going to be a disaster for
this city.~Chris
