Yet another county reports more voters registering Libertarian
Burke County, North Carolina is the latest county to report more voters are leaving the Republican and Democrat parties for the Libertarian Party.
“Registered voters in Burke County have steadily moved away from the Democratic and Republican parties since November 2008, joining the Libertarian party or going unaffiliated,” the Morganton News-Herald reports.
The paper reports “(t)he number of Libertarians has quadrupled.”
“Those numbers reflect similar trends on the state level, which have also seen increases in voters registering Libertarian or unaffiliated…”
That also follows a national trend.
“More than 2.5 million voters have left the Democratic and Republican parties since the 2008 elections, while the number of independent voters continues to grow,” USA Today reported in December.
“The pattern continues a decades-long trend that has seen a diminution in the power of political parties, giving rise to independents as Ross Perot and Ralph Nader and the popularity this year of libertarian Republican Ron Paul.”
