Cam Ward, who is a member of the Alabama House of Representatives, is planning to introduce a bill in the 2010 legislature to make it easier for independent candidates and minor parties to get on the ballot in Alabama. This is a great step forward in the state of Alabama. To make it easier for third party members and independent candidates to get on the ballot means more choice, more diversity for the citizens of this great state. It helps bring about a chance for people to vote for the person who really will represent them well, and not for the person who has a D or an R beside their name.
To make it even better, Cam Ward, or someone in Congress, should make it where third party members and independent candidates have the same access to the ballot as Republicans and Democrats. How about a better chance for representation Alabama? Will we see it?
I think that this is a bad idea as it will only split the Conservative vote and more politicians will be able to hide behind that I as it will be translated into whatever the reader wants to make the I stand for.
There wouldn’t be a problem with splitting votes if the two main parties picked someone who the majority of the people want. I’m for people getting on the ballot. It’s fair. I don’t want to be stuck with voting either a Republican or a Democrat, especially if I do not like either of them.
