Election Reform

In a 2 party system, 1 party must have a majority and will abuse it. When we have many smaller factions, none has a majority, and institutional fraud becomes harder.

The reason parties exist is to place a candidate on the ballot with no fee or signatures, while independent candidates need way more. That is because they don't want vote splitting.

I propose the general election be 2 stage. First state has independent's and each party's nominee, all voted on by all voters. The second state is a guaranteed top 2 runoff. Let the major parties hold private nominations, since their followers often don't think anyway. Let all candidates in the first general stage have the same requirements to get on the ballot, be it a fee, signatures, or other criteria.

That will spawn more parties and break up the 2 party system.
