ORLANDO, Fla. (NBC News/Leigh Ann Caldwell) — The Libertarian Party's nominating convention started Friday in Orlando, Florida where they will pick their candidates for president and vice president just as they have every four years for the past 45 years. But this year is different.

With voters potentially looking for a third option and the Libertarian Party gaining widespread access on state ballots for November, the Libertarian Party could be in a coveted position heading into the general election.
