Prior to the #FusionBan, candidates in Kansas routinely received multiple party nominations via #FusionVoting, allowing for minor parties to play a substantial and significant role in the democratic process. United Kansas Party is challenging anti-fusion laws: protectdemocracy.org/work/challen...

The two major parties in the sunflower state would rather play games than solve problems @UnitedKansas. With a #FusionBan, #KSPolitics lacks a mechanism for voters to fully exercise their #VotingRights, including the right of parties to cross-nominate candidates for office.
“Luckily, what was banned by states can be unbanned, and efforts to repeal the anti-fusion laws by litigation or legislation are underway in various states. Fusion voting won’t be legalized in time for this November. But today’s dysfunctional politics aren’t going to just vanish in 2025, and the push for fusion voting ought to gain support. We must revitalize America’s party system so that compromise and coalition are rewarded and valued. The two-party system is a failure, but democracy is not.” – Dan Cantor, Senior Advisor at Center for Ballot Freedom
Though it won't be legalized by November, the battle to end the #FusionBan is underway in several states. Ending the #doomloop will take time, but we have confidence in #FusionVoting 🗳 and its ability to restore our #democracy! Learn more: centerforballotfreedom.org
“Restoring the right of political parties to cross-nominate their preferred candidates could mitigate some of the serious challenges facing U.S. democracy in the 21st century.” – Tabatha Abu El-Haj, Thomas R. Kline School of Law Lee Drutman, New America Beau Tremitiere, Protect Democracy
Many issues we are facing regarding extremism and the lack of representation due to the two-party #duopoly could easily be resolved by allowing cross-nomination and ending the #FusionBan. @leedrutman.bsky.social @protectdemocracy.org Learn more: centerforballotfreedom.org
Tom and Jerry meme: GOP and Dems on basic issues vs. GOP and Dems on the Fusion Ban
One thing the GOP and Democratic Party can agree on is that an entrenched two-party #duopoly will keep them both in power! Ending the #FusionBan will give third parties a voice and bring about a more representative political process. Learn more: centerforballotfreedom.org
“Fusion voting used to be common across America, and it is still practiced in Connecticut and New York. The freedom to cross-nominate candidates, or fuse, was critical to the rise of the anti-slavery parties of the 1840s and 1850s, and also to the raft of anti-monopoly populist, suffragist, farmer, labor and temperance parties of the second half of the 19th century that made politics then so competitive and vibrant.” – Micah Sifry is a writer, editor, and democracy activist.
