Thanks for your continual truth telling commentaries on the U.S. national election. I and a friend collected 240 signatures to get Stein and Ware on the Virginia ballot, which was a success. In Nevada this pass week the state Supreme Court denied Green Party ballot access on a technicality -- the state had given them the wrong petitions, even tho they succeeded in getting three times the number of signatures needed to quality. The duopoly wants no competition. The whole process is corrupt, also corrupted by the huge sums of money donated by AIPAC and corporate PACs. It's disgusting.
In most states in the u.s. you have to submit a form telling the state you are a write-in candidate. Write-in votes feel good however they are not counted. Nevada was an opportunity to change the election. The last time a third party candidate in the u.s. won was Lincoln in the newly formed Republicant party.

Actually - the whole question of ballot access in the USA is a huge issue.
Getting ballot access in the UK is very simple. So why is it so hard in the USA???
Could it be that they don't trust the voters???
Could it be that they fear democracy???
I'm gonna give you a little honesty you might not find in a forum of America haters here in America.
Ballot access IS too hard.
Younger, local politicians willing to change things usually lose heart after a few terms in office here, too.
But Trump isn't a dictator, and Kamala isn't a saviour and neither would be Jill Stein.
At least, I trust, a write-in, campaign is under way.

I have a feeling many states will end up counting up all the "uncommited" write-ins
