Lower the amount of support needed to have third-party candidates participate in debates.

Created by H.N. on March 21, 2013

Third-party candidates should be more than just a party to pull votes away from the two-party system. Voters should be informed of all the choices before voting, and lowering the 15 percent support would be a good way to inform the public when they watch the debates. Furthermore, it will allow people to make more accurate votes because they will not be forced to choose between only two parties. It should be lowered to one or two percent. The candidate will have a greater reach, and be represented fairly. A large reason why third-party candidates receive few votes is because not many people know they exist. This will ensure a more accurate voting process.
