Your numbers are from the March, 2002 primary election, which was not an open primary. Only registered Libertarians could vote in the Libertarian primary. So Copeland's vote total in November, while still relatively small, will probably be ten times what he got in March because many non-libertarians will vote for him at that time.

So instead of .001% of the vote he gets .01% of the vote?

My point exactly. Did you notice trend?

About 1/2 of 1% voted Libertarian.

And the argument here is can we vote for a Druid.

Actually, it's not the druid thing that has the voters staying away in droves.

And...oh...it wasn't just him.
