The Libertarian candidate for the 8th Congressional District is getting blamed for tipping the race from the favored Republican column to Democrat Yadira Caraveo.
How many of his supporters would have voted for Caraveo or for Kirkmeyer had Ward not been on the ballot? How many would simply have sat out the election altogether? Were the votes Ward got genuinely about bolstering the chances of a Libertarian candidate or were they simply protest votes against the two major parties?
“It’s quite unusual,” Chen said of what happened last month in the 8th Congressional District. “We don’t talk about third-party candidates in U.S. House races because there are not that many competitive races.” “They never got back to me,” said Ward, dressed in a hard hat and reflective vest as he revamped the electrical system inside a McDonald’s restaurant in Adams County on a recent morning. “I just wanted to flick my thumb at the two-party system.”
“A line-holder candidate is someone who is willing to put their name on the ballot even if they don’t want to campaign that much — that’s positive for us,” Marinovich said.
