New Kansas Party working to create a powerful kind of Fusion! #FusionVoting #ksleg #ksed kansasreflector.com/2024/04/29/fle…
WATCH: @voxdotcom briefly explains how #FusionVoting 🗳️✨ brought together newly emancipated African Americans and poor, working-class whites in Wilmington, North Carolina. Learn more: centerforballotfreedom.org
"#FusionVoting 🗳️✨, in which new parties could cross-endorse major-party candidates or run their own, would give voters a way to express different views without boosting their least-favored candidate" -- @mschmitt9 Learn more @NewAmerica : newamerica.org/the-thread/sup…

Third-Party Politics in American History—A Response to Ned Foley electionlawblog.org/?p=142749 @ElectionLawBlog @rachelshelden @LisaDisch1 @rickhasen @Nedfoley
#FusionVoting 🗳️✨ is not confusing at all! It's a simple concept to support major party candidates on a minor party line. With fusion, you can support candidates who share your own values. Let's clear a pathway to a more inclusive #democracy! Learn more: centerforballotfreedom.org
With fusion, voters have the option to vote for the party line that best represents their own values. #FusionVoting 🗳️✨ means two or more parties are working to get a candidate elected, instead of one. Learn more: centerforballotfreedom.org
#FusionVoting 🗳️ is the antidote to the winner-take-all electoral system, solves the wasted vote or spoiler dilemmas that otherwise plague third parties, and allows citizens who identify as independent to participate constructively in politics. Learn more: centerforballotfreedom.org
How #FusionVoting 🗳️✨ enabled the abolition movement from @btremitiere via @Principles_1st The Liberty Party, Anti-Nebraska Party, and Free Soil Party used fusion voting to make their opposition to slavery more electorally visible. Learn more: centerforballotfreedom.org
Simple, yet powerful--#FusionVoting 🗳️✨ allows multiple parties to cross-nominate the same candidate, and the same person would appear on two or more ballot lines. It also solves the “wasted vote” dilemma. Learn more: fosters.com/story/opinion/…
Only 11% of Americans express high confidence in political parties. So why do we need them at all? Learn more here: protectdemocracy.org/work/why-do-we…
Political parties are unpopular in the US, but healthy parties are essential to a healthy democracy. Learn why here: protectdemocracy.org/work/why-do-we…
"parties are essential organizing institutions in any modern democracy."
"parties are essential organizing institutions in any modern democracy."
New Jersey voters: 1️⃣ understand that the two-party system is undermining our #democracy—and that it will not self-correct 2️⃣ are unhappy with the two major parties and want to vote for alternatives 3️⃣ broadly support the reinstatement of #FusionVoting newamerica.org/political-refo…
The American Labor Party was founded, in part, to assist FDR in 1936. In New York, a candidate can appear on the ballot under multiple parties (fusion voting). The ALP's endorsement meant FDR's name appeared twice. Nearly 1 in 10 votes for FDR in NY were cast on the ALP line.

Hear from @Nolan_Mc about how #FusionVoting 🗳️ played a central role in U.S. politics for the first 125 years of our nation’s history. Fusion Voting offers a compelling way for parties to represent voters sick and tired of rampant polarization. Learn more: centerforballotfreedom.org
#FusionVoting is a game changer. It allows candidates to be cross-nominated by multiple parties. This amplifies diverse voices and encourages major parties to adopt more representative stances, leading to a more balanced political environment @UnitedKansas cjonline.com/story/opinion/…

🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert: @billmaher: “Genocide is when you want to wipe out an entire people. That’s the stated goal of Hamas. Hamas would do that to Israel, but can’t. Israel could do that to the Palestinians, but doesn’t.” Clarity.

@getprdone @Andrew_F_Smith Give'm what they[Lab elites] want[competitive advantage 4 a long spell]! Cut # of MPs/districts in half & add fusion voting to fix, more or less, FPTP. In return, ask that there be set up a committee to determine what PR shd be used to replace the eliminated MP seats eventually!
If RFK Jr or any third-party candidate truly wanted to change the system, they would work to change the system. They would organize with others to establish, say, ranked-choice voting. They would work from the inside of the existing party structure in what’s called “fusion voting

Just a reminder. My dad voted R for president his whole life (not always for state and local though) until 2016. A vet, a thinker, a man who believed in doing what’s right for the country and the world, saw Trump for who he was. Be like my dad. Country over party. World.
🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert: @DougDucey (R-AZ): “I wanted us to be an exporter of good ideas. What hasn’t been done anywhere else that we could do in Arizona.” Principled leadership is rooted in good ideas—not personalities or partisanship.
