==History==
==History==
The Arizona Libertarian Party has had a contentious, controversial history.  For a time in the 1990s, there were two organizations claiming to be the official state party, one basing its claim on recognition by the national LP and the other on state laws governing the organization of recognized political parties given that the state LP had recently qualified for recognition. A petition from Arizona was rejected, after evidence was presented that there were irregularities in that state's temporary organization at the [[LNC Meeting 25 November 1972]]. In the 2000 election, the Arizona Libertarian Party recognized by Arizona but disaffiliated by the national LP, declined to endorse the national LP's presidential nominee, [[Harry Browne]], instead placing [[L. Neil Smith]] on the ballot as its presidential nominee.

The Arizona Libertarian Party, Inc. ("AZLP" in party bylaws[1]) is the Arizona affiliate of the Libertarian Party.

History

The Arizona Libertarian Party has had a contentious, controversial history. For a time in the 1990s, there were two organizations claiming to be the official state party, one basing its claim on recognition by the national LP and the other on state laws governing the organization of recognized political parties given that the state LP had recently qualified for recognition. A petition from Arizona was rejected, after evidence was presented that there were irregularities in that state's temporary organization at the LNC Meeting 25 November 1972.

Controversies

In the 2000 election, the Arizona Libertarian Party recognized by Arizona but disaffiliated by the national LP, declined to endorse the national LP's presidential nominee, Harry Browne, instead placing L. Neil Smith on the ballot as its presidential nominee. See Libertarian Party of Arizona Affiliate Controversy 1995-2000.
