Here's a story about "spoiling" in the other direction,
(Libertarians "giving election" to Hillary).

P.S. I am always offended by statements to the effect
that a third party takes votes away from one of the
two major parties.  There's the implicit assumption
that the two major parties somehow own all the votes,
and have a right to the votes.  I think if we had a
decent system, other than the winner take all system
we have, the third parties would get MORE votes, so
the "lesser-of-two-evils" idea steals votes from the
third parties for the two major parties.

Which means that Jill is not stealing votes from
Hillary, instead Hillary is stealing votes from Jill.
