America’s political system is broken. We are a cross-partisan nonprofit project that protects and strengthens American democracy by reviving #FusionVoting 🗳️

Winner-take-all voting isn’t the only type of electoral system out there. Let’s talk about fusion voting. @Promote_VoteMI

Connecticut shows how fusion voting works in practice. With fusion voting, multiple parties can endorse the same candidate while keeping their own ballot lines. That means voters can support the Working Families Party, Independent Party, or another qualifying party without splitting the vote or acting as a spoiler. The candidate gets the votes, and the parties get credit for the support they build.

Fusion voting isn't about helping one party or another—it's about giving voters more choice and creating a healthier, more competitive democracy. @sbagen buttondown.com/sbagen/archiv…

Fusion voting was banned in many states more than a century ago, but efforts to restore it are gaining momentum. Fusion voting gives voters more choices and allows new parties and grassroots movements to build real influence without acting as spoilers.

Fusion voting isn't a left-right issue—it's a voter choice issue. In Wisconsin, the Libertarian Party and the Working Families Party have come together to support the challenge to the state's fusion voting ban. @UrbanMilwaukee urbanmilwaukee.com/pressrele…

THE LATEST FROM OUR SUBSTACK: People don't actually hate political parties. They hate that the government keeps failing them, and parties make an easy scapegoat. So what's the real fix? Two competing visions are on the table. đź§µ

BUT while only 22% of Americans think the two parties represent them well enough, 57% want MORE parties, not fewer. 75%+ still say party labels are useful. People aren't anti-party—they want cues for who stands for what. Independents just leave voters guessing. news.gallup.com/poll/329639/…

The fix isn't fewer parties. It's better ones—more of them, competing and bargaining through fusion voting and proportional representation. That's the coalition-built system we actually need. Read more on our Substack: centerforballotfreedom.subst…

Fusion voting gives voters more choices and gives minority factions within major parties a chance to organize independently without acting as spoilers.

If you're frustrated by the two-party system, Duverger's Law helps explain why: winner-take-all elections tend to squeeze politics into two major parties. But the rules aren't set in stone. Reforming them can create more choices for voters. That's where fusion voting comes in. @CTMirror ctmirror.org/2026/07/31/befo…

Fusion voting allows multiple parties to nominate the same candidate and appear together on the ballot. That means voters can support their preferred party without helping to split the vote. @UnitedWisc

The @ACLUofWisconsin recently filed an amicus brief arguing that fusion voting protects the freedom of association, helps voters support candidates without backing a major party, and gives minor parties a meaningful way to build coalitions and political power. aclu-wi.org/cases/challengin…

Fusion voting isn't a new idea in Michigan—it's part of the state's history. Sometimes the best reforms are the ones we've used before. @sbagen

The @UnitedKansas Party is looking to appeal the Court of Appeals decision, maintaining anti-fusion voting laws. wibw.com/video/2026/08/14/un…

PR helps more parties win seats. Fusion helps more parties organize, build support, and influence elections without acting as spoilers. Together, they offer a path toward a more representative, competitive, and responsive democracy—one with more voices, more choices, and more ways for voters to be heard. @AndrewRCraig

Michigan's fusion voting ban is facing a challenge in court. Two minor parties have sued to overturn the state's 131-year-old prohibition on fusion voting, arguing that the law limits voter choice, weakens political competition, and makes it harder for new parties to grow. michiganadvance.com/2026/06/…

A healthy democracy depends on competition. Fusion voting bans act like an anticompetitive market distortion—protecting the political status quo while limiting new voices, new coalitions, and new choices for voters. If the marketplace of political competition is broken, it’s time to remove the barriers that keep it that way. #FusionVoting

Micah Sifry sits down with Andy Craig in a wide-ranging and unusually candid conversation about how America’s democratic breakdown looks from outside the red-blue binary — and why structural reform, not just partisan victory, is essential if liberal democracy is going to survive the Trump era.
