"Like New York. I believe they have the highest barrier to entry of any state." I disagree. I believe that New York is one of the FEW STATES LEFT when 'fusion voting' is still legal. (For an example of 'fusion voting': the Conservative Party of New York can field it's own candidate, or it can choose to ENDORSE the Republican or Democratic or Libertarian candidate, or whomever... then if the candidate they endorsed wins, they can influence [hopefully] the candidate's policy choices, because he will know WHAT GROUPS gave him his win. That is how fusion voting helps new groups and their ideas win influence in the political arena. Unfortunately --- in one of the most cynical and wrong-headed decisions to ever come out of the US Supreme Court --- they stated that States [strings pulled by the two dominant political parties out to eliminate competition] can BAN 'fusion voting' if they want to.)
