Libertarian Party to build on record increases in support at national convention - Westmoreland Times:

June 25, 2014 - "Even as Republicans and Democrats are suffering sharp declines in voters who identify with them, the Libertarian Party is gearing up for their biennial national convention to build on record growth in the last two years.

"More than 500 Libertarians from all 50 states and around the world are convening in Columbus, Ohio, from Thursday, June 26, to Sunday, June 29, for the 2014 Libertarian Party National Convention.

"'Libertarian Party voter registration in the United States has grown 11.4 percent since late 2012,' said LP Political Director Carla Howell, citing research by national ballot access expert Richard Winger.

"'Our members and candidates from across the country are excited to get together to network, to share success stories, and to continue building the only nationally organized political party that’s growing,' Howell said.

"According to Winger, the most recent figures available from state governments show that there were 368,561 registered Libertarians in March 2014, compared to 330,811 in November 2012."
