I’m from the lower 48 states, but I came upon this interesting op-ed through Google. One nugget I just wanted to share (forgive me if this is already common knowledge): the first Libertarian ever elected in U.S. history was an Alaskan. Dick Randolph was elected to the Alaska state legislature in the 1970s, and was later instrumental in having the state income tax repealed. Among some other big Western states, it seems Alaska might be one place where Gary Johnson could make waves this year.
