These differed from the Republican or Democratic presidential primaries and caucuses in that they did not appoint delegates to represent a candidate at the party's convention to select the party's nominee for the United States presidential election. The party's nominee for the 2008 presidential election was chosen directly by registered delegates at the 2008 Libertarian National Convention, which ran from May 22 to 26, 2008. The delegates nominated former congressman Bob Barr (who did not run in the primaries) for president and media personality Wayne Allyn Root for vice president. Two primaries were held, one in Missouri and one in California.Major Third Party 2008 Presidential Primaries https://www.thegreenpapers.com/T08/events.phtml www.thegreenpapers.com The Green Papers 18 May 2021 A total of 18,915 votes were cast in these primaries.
