Courtesy of long-time California Libertarian Jose Ctaneda, we have the Libertarian Party of California Presidential straw poll, as taken at their state convention:
Name / Votes Received / Percent
- Lars Mapstead—25 26.3
- Michael Rectenwald—21 22.1
- Mike ter Maat—14 14.7
- Chase Oliver—10 10.5
- Jacob Hornberger—6 6.3
- Art Olivier—4 4.2
- Toad—4 4.2
- Josh Smith—4 4.2
- Spike Cohen—3 3.2
- Charles Ballay—2 2.1
- Justin Amash—1 1.1
- RFK Jr.—1 1.1
One might propose that RFK demanding a firearms search to attend his event was inopportune, given the LP position on the Second Amendment.
95 delegates. I attended Cal LP conventions 40 years ago where there were more than 200 delegates. What the heck happened to Cal LP???
