Libertarian Tonie Nathan, first woman in U.S. history to receive an electoral vote, dies at 91
Theodora
"Tonie" Nathan, the 1972 Libertarian Party candidate for vice
president, passed away on the morning of March 20, 2014, at the age of 91.
Nathan was a charter member of the national Libertarian Party, which was founded in 1971, inspired largely by the philosophical vision of Ayn Rand. At the first Libertarian Party presidential nominating convention in 1972, she was selected to run for vice president with Libertarian presidential candidate John Hospers.
Republican Virginia elector Roger L. MacBride, who later switched his affiliation to the Libertarian Party and became the party's 1976 Libertarian presidential nominee, chose to vote for Hospers and Nathan rather than Nixon and Agnew, making Nathan the first woman in U.S. history to receive an electoral vote in the Electoral College — ahead of Geraldine Ferraro in 1984. She was also the first Jewish person in America to receive an electoral vote and to gain a nomination to run as vice president.

reports Libertarians are redefining American politics
From a February 25, 2014 article
in MintPress News:
“With an historically high 42 percent of Americans identifying themselves as independents as of January, the United States is becoming a nation increasingly not served by either the Republican or Democrat label. According to a December 2013 Gallup poll, 72 percent of all Americans believed that Big Government is a bigger threat to the United States than Big Business (21 percent) or Big Labor (5 percent).
“‘As the views of Americans, and especially young voters, converge with the Libertarian platform, we are attracting more votes than the party has ever seen,’ Carla Howell, political director of the National Libertarian Party, told MintPress News. ‘Over 15,000,000 votes were cast for Libertarians in 2012. The Robert Sarvis for governor campaign in Virginia last year garnered 6.5 percent of the vote, the highest vote total for a candidate who was neither a Democrat nor a Republican in a southern state in over 40 years. His vote among those aged 18-29 stood at 15 percent.’”
