    There are WAY more than just "both sides".

    But the Link only gave the two sides

    Besides - the chances of a third party ever winning is slim to none.
    The last time that happened was 1860 - and major reason for that was the split of the Democrat party. The last time a 3rd party presidental candidate recd any Ec was Gov Wallace in 1968.

    Something to ponder

    Matters not to me. I vote for who I want to win, in politics or in sports, regardless of the odds of winning.

    So what is your answer to those who say that if a large number vote for candidate C - instead of Candidate B - then Candidate A will win.

    Thus a good reason for the fusion ballot

    I say people should vote for the person they want to the hold the office that they are voting for, or not vote. A person's vote is theirs to do with as they desire, not as someone else desires them to do with.

    should people be made aware that if they vote for a 3rd party - So a person does not like candidate because they don't like the lesser of two evils - but since they voted 3rd party - the worse of 2 evils wins the election! Should people be made aware of that possibility.

    The only other option would be instant run-off voting.

    We can vote all we want but it is God who sovereignly determines who wins elections for His own glory and purposes. Our voting is nothing more than a means that God uses. We rotten, filthy sinners decide nothing.

    So, vote if you desire to, but keep in mind that you and your fellow voters are not the One who determines who wins the election.
