In an endorsement that could prove pivotal in New Hampshire, the state’s Libertarian Party endorsed former President Donald Trump.
New Hampshire has four electoral votes; those could prove decisive if there is a closely contested vote in the presidential election. In the RealClearPolitics polling average, Harris has a 3.5-point advantage. According to the New Hampshire Secretary of State, as of September 30, Republicans have 308,223 registered voters, while Democrats have 268,943. The state will likely be decided by the 318,221 undeclared voters.
“Donald Trump is officially endorsed by the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire for President,” the party’s announcement began. “This was not a light decision. But we feel it is the right one for ourselves, for our children, and for the best future of a Free State of New Hampshire. Donald Trump is not a libertarian. Nonetheless, Trump is the best candidate for libertarians.”

The announcement then continued by issuing a list of the reasons they favored Trump, then continued, “Trump promises much and we are skeptical of promises from politicians. However, we know for certain what the Democrat alternative is: more socialism, more censorship, more taxes, more authoritarianism.”
After urging their supporters not to vote for the Libertarian presidential candidate on the ballot, they declared, “The barbarians are at the gates. We must make sure that New Hampshire continues to repel progressives, socialists, communists, and leftists of all stripes. New Hampshire being the only red state in a blue New England helps achieve that goal. For these reasons and more, the most popular Libertarian state affiliate in the country is endorsing Donald Trump for President. Now get out there and vote!”

New Hampshire has not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 2000, although Trump lost an incredibly close contest in 2016, losing by less than a percentage point to Hillary Clinton. In that election, 6.72% of the vote went to third-party candidates.
