BISMARCK (AP) -- The North Dakota Libertarian Party's candidates for the U.S. Senate and state tax commissioner got enough votes to advance to the November election.
But three Libertarian candidates for the Legislature came up short.
In a North Dakota primary, a statewide candidate needs at least 300 votes to advance to the general election.
Libertarian Senate candidate Keith Hanson got 532 votes in unofficial returns. Tax commissioner candidate Richard Flattum-Riemers got 388 votes.
Two Libertarians were on the North Dakota House primary ballot in Grand Forks, and another Libertarian ran for the state Senate in Wahpeton.

None of the three got more than eight votes. They won't be eligible to run as Libertarians this fall.
