The Montana LP entered into an affiliate agreement with the Libertarian National Committee.

Per that affiliate agreement, it is the obligation of the Montana LP to support the presidential ticket nominated at that convention.

If the Montana LP didn't want to abide by the results of the convention, it should have disaffiliated itself from the Libertarian National Committee instead of exercising its right to send voting delegates to the convention.

Since the Montana LP has decided to default on its obligations under the affiliate agreement, the LNC should rescind the mutual affiliation. In November. For now, it should go to court to enforce those obligations.
