Demonstrators outside the Glens Falls office of U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-Willsboro, on Thursday evening chanted, "Reject Trump! Reject Trump!"

Dan King, a member of the newly-formed Warren County Libertarian Party chapter, showed up with a clip board and offered an alternative to Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee.

King was circulating nominating petitions to get Libertarian Party presidential nominee Gary Johnson and VP running mate William Weld on the ballot in New York.

"It just says you think a third voice should be on the ballot," he said to demonstrators, who appeared to be ignoring him.

King was not discouraged. He staked out a spot next to the demonstration and waited for pedestrians to pass by.

"We're working on getting these petitions signed so we can make sure that the Libertarian candidates are on the ballot. And them from there we're going to be doing some fundraising," said Adam Pensel, chairman of the chapter. "And we're also going to be doing an evaluation of the Warren County budget as a party and making some recommendations in terms of reduction in taxes and spending."

The anti-Trump demonstration was organized by a coalition of advocacy groups including Citizen Action and NextGen Climate.
