The Libertarian Party has existed since 1971 and reached its peak in popularity in the 1980 election, receiving only about 1% of the vote. This political party is on the ballot in only 27 out of 50 states.

The most effective leader of the Libertarian Party was Congressman Ron Paul, M.D., who switched from the Republican Party and ran for president on the Libertarian ticket in 1988. Dr. Paul subsequently became a Republican again and is considered one of the best conservatives in Congress, where he has served his Texas district for many years.
