There are lots of elective, partisan offices at the township level that often do not attract a candidate of ANY party. These positions usually do not carry a salary (which accounts for the lack of interest, I suspect) but they DO count as a win for elective partisan office. Where I voted last Tuesday there were at least two offices with no candidates listed on the ballot. It just takes some organization to get this ball rolling.

The Libertarian Party needs to do much, much more of this: Actually winning Elections, instead of spending time with philosophical infighting. This is really good news.
