This year, the Lone Star State will have the great honor of hosting the Presidential election night watch party for the Libertarian candidate, Dr. Jo Jorgensen. The party will begin at 8 PM at the Tower Club, 1601 Elm St. 48th Floor, Dallas, TX 75201. There will be a VIP Dinner for those purchasing VIP tickets beginning at 6PM. Reception only tickets are as little as $50. This will be an amazing night and opportunity to meet with and interact with those who have worked together to make this campaign a success. Hors D’ouevres and a complimentary drink ticket will be included with all tickets purchased.
Texas has the second most Electoral College votes, representing 38 of the 538 total Electoral votes. 270 votes are needed to win the Presidency. Whichever candidate earns the most votes in Texas, will receive all 38 electoral votes. To date, the Libertarian Party has yet to receive an electoral vote. However, with Maine and Nebraska allocating electoral votes by Congressional Districts and now having Ranked Choice Voting in Maine, the 2020 election could produce some very interesting outcomes! Dr. Jo Jorgensen and her Vice Presidential running mate, Spike Cohen will be on the ballot in all 50 States plus Washington DC. While it is unlikely that she will earn 270 electoral votes, there are still some huge implications for the Libertarian Party based on this years performance. First, by earning 5% of the popular vote, the Libertarian Party will be eligible to receive the Federal Matching Campaign Funds, currently only available to Republicans and Democrats. Secondly, ballot access laws vary by State, but in many States 5% would mean additional years of not needing to meet the rigorous restrictions currently in place for getting on a States ballot, saving future campaigns time and money.
Regardless of the outcome of this election. This event will surely be a cause for celebration for the hundreds of candidates, volunteers and supporters who have worked hard to position the Libertarian Party for success up and down the ballot! We would love it if you could join us on election night and share in our celebration and look forward to spreading the cause of Liberty in Texas!
