Answer by nostradamus02012
no, no and no.

there is currently zero chance for 3rd parties in america right now.

because the election rules, including things like who gets matching funds and participates in elections is all decided by the dems and repubs.

What is another way the United States electoral system acts as an obstacle to third parties?

Question by Michelle: What is another way the United States electoral system acts as an obstacle to third parties?
I already know that third parties have to actually petition to get their place on the ballot in each state. What’s another big issue, legally, that keeps third parties from power?

Best answer:

Answer by Pablo
The votes are not counted at all if you are not the winner. It is not a popular vote where every vote counts. I always argue that if American Idol can do it why can’t the government. I think there is a fear they will lose control. Good question, makes no sense.
