THE BACKLOG IS ALMOST DONE! Seriously, guys, we’ve only got a dozen items left, most from this week, which is far less than we had 3 weeks ago. The Process Is Working! One depressing fact is that although third parties are a natural constituency to recruit into the Ranked-Choice or multiparty reform fight, they’re also the most self-selected to be least likely to admit they aren’t special unicorns who can overcome the spoiler effect through sheer plucky stick-to-it-ive-ness. They spend most of their time blathering on like idiots about how they’re denied ballot access, when existing ballot access thresholds would be mere speed bumps if the parties themselves actually stood a chance in First-Past-The-Post elections.
