I don't doubt the possibility that the Libertarian candidate could feasibly secure ≥5% of the vote in the special election (as standard per WP:E&R RfC), but there haven't been any polls in this special election and no Libertarian candidate stood in the previous general election in 2016, so there isn't a reference point by which to affirm this. As far as I can tell, the last time a Libertarian candidate stood (in 2010), they received 1.52% of the vote, which is below the 5% threshold. The Independent American Party, which is also presenting a candidate in the special election, received 2.24% of the vote in the 2014 general election, by comparison. I removed the Libertarian candidate from the infobox in the past but it seems they've been restored, so I'd like to get an idea of the general opinion on the talk page first.
