DescriptionRepublicans aren't pleased with Jim Vein.

Some say the unheralded Libertarian candidate affected the outcome of the tight race between Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson and Republican Mia Love in Utah's new 4th Congressional District. Matheson won by fewer than 3,000 votes.

Also, a Democratic PAC hired a voter contact firm to call thousands of 4th District Republicans to tell them to forget about Matheson and Love and remember there is a third-party candidate.

Vein ended up with 5,703 votes or 2.6 percent of the total.
