Okay, so I'm missing something. What is it? To not be a complete dick head. Here. https://ballotpedia.org/Ballot_access_for_presidential_candidates It's very restrictive for individuals/small groups to gain access to presidential ballots. It's also incredibly expensive for individuals/small groups to do so, while the democrats and republicans are able to pool vast resources together via campaigning and fundraising across the entire country. That, coupled with our first past the post election system, whereby whoever wins a state gets ALL of the electoral votes* and then needing 270 to win the election almost all but wipe out any chance of a viable 3rd party president. If no one gets to 270, then it is left up to the House to vote for the president and due to the makeup of the house and how that voting works, would almost certainly go to a republican candidate. So no, it's not PHYSICALLY impossible to elect a 3rd party candidate as president, but it's as likely to happen as me joining the NBA. --- Rage is a hell of an anesthetic. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
