Libertarian Marco Battaglia, challenger for Congressman Zach Nunn in Iowa's 3rd congressional district, was kicked off the ballot but most Iowans don't understand why. The reason? Iowa Libertarians voted 181 minutes too early. Adding insult to injury, Battaglia says they caught the error but were told by the Iowa Secretary of State's Office and his own party, it wouldn't be a concern. 

As the majority of the country now identifies as independent, nearly %50, why can't Libertarian seem to win anyone over to their side? Does their image need an overhaul? Battaglia explains why Libertarians come with some baggage, addresses concerns most Iowans have with the party, and explains why marijuana legalization, now seeing acceptance from both parties, may have harmed party growth.
