This is terrible of course. We should do what we can to increase the chance of third parties to get on ballots. The idea that each party gets to be a potential king maker because they always appear on the next election's ballots and get to pick people to appear is terrible. In Washington state the two primary people with the highest votes get on the final ballot. This can lead to two candidates of the same party making the ballot. Perhaps we should switch this to the top 3 to encourage 3rd parties. Certainly two makes it more likely that only and R & D make it.
