The ups and downs of what many consider the strangest presidential election of their lifetime has produced a unique opportunity for third-party candidates to make a statement on the national political stage this fall. Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein are attracting voters in a way that hasn’t been seen since the unlikely rise of billionaire Ross Perot in 1992. Perot’s appeal as an outsider kept Democrat Bill Clinton from reaching 50 percent of the national vote in his first election as president.
