Daily Kos :: Comments The Little Party That Saved America

There are states with easy fusion (0+ / 0-)

In New York it makes things strange. However, the fusion is almost entirely with parties that only exist in New York.

You can do fusion in MA between major parties. It requires having the party to which the candidate does not belong nominate a straw candidate, and then throw its primary to a sticker campaign of the other candidate.

For a Libertarian, there appears to be little use to fusion.

Had enough yet?

- South Carolina has fusion (0+ / 0-)
  
  South Carolina has fusion, and it is completely straightforward: you just get on the ballot of both parties. It is completely legal, for example, to get both the Green and Democratic nominations. However, the Democratic party here requires an oath from their candidates that they will not also run on another party's ticket. One of the few states in the US where the Dems could reliably have the Green vote, and they don't want it.
