His name is Chase Oliver, but he's no 400 pounder. The 37 year old Libertarian in Georgia threw a stick in the spokes from his Atlanta basement. Sounds like Mr. Oliver was successful. His candidacy forced the runoff (he thinks) between Warnock and Walker.
I guess it was what he intended. Even with a low money budget.

“I knew when I started this campaign, I wanted to force a runoff to force these issues, and I think I succeeded,” Oliver told Vice News on Wednesday. “Could I have done better? Absolutely. But I think I did very well, all things considered.”

“I spent like $10,000 on some signs and door-knocking materials, and gas on the car, and food for canvassers,” Oliver said, comparing himself to other candidates who spent millions on their campaigns. “I rode around in my beat-up Corolla getting 30 miles to the gallon, because it’s economical. Fiscally conservative, I guess.”

Georgia‘s system is unworkable

It is impossible to prevent a runoff with three or more candidates

The Libertarian only got 81k votes.

But I doubt any of those votes go to Walker.

Meddle and disrupt is what we are going for. Something has to change from all your sheep voting for the duopoly endlessly.

He wants to end Foreign Wars and the Drug War, he supports term limits and says the biggest challenge in the next decade will be to reduce the power and scope government has over our lives.

I can see now why you hate him

That is not voting twice. Each person's vote is counted once. If there is a run-off, the votes are counted separately.

I have voted in 4 different elections. By your logic, I was allowed to vote 4 times in Georgia.

The Libertarians I know (and I know quite a few) are all conservatives. They have an extreme dislike for the fiscal irresponsibility of both parties, and an extreme dislike for the "social conservative agenda". They will not vote for Hershel Walker because he will, at best, be a puppet. Under nomal circumstances he would never be considered a serious candidate.

Louisiana has the same system, and they had no runoff. In fact, almost all of the southern states have a runoff system.

Why argue when the same candidates are allowed to get voted for twice because Georgia allows for it because of the 50 + 1% system.

What it shows is that Libertarians are losers. The very best they can ever hope to achieve is being a spoiler every once in a while. Most of the time they are just plain losers. Yeah, he forced a runoff election, whereby either a Republican or a Democrats will win. He's proud of that?

Democrats must love it.

What he is describing is not the state someone to vote twice. It is a run-off because the race was too close. Other states have them. They are structured differently, but still runoffs.
