Episode: New Focus with Mike DeRosa - The Inconvenient Facts about Third Party Ballot Access Discrimination and Why the Real Issues that Impact Your Life Cannot Be Discussed or Debated...

The Inconvenient Facts about Third Party Ballot Access Discrimination and Why the Real Issues that Impact Your Life Cannot Be Discussed or Debated (or Why the Dictatorship of False Appearances and False Narratives Trumps the Development of a Real Democracy in Connecticut and the United States)

Rob Richie of the organization FairVote will tell us why third parties are given short shrift in Connecticut and the Nation when it comes to fairness and political opportunity at the ballot box.

Rob will tell you why these arbitrary and discriminatory ballot access rules stop you from hearing about the real issues and the inconvenient facts that the two major parties don’t want you to hear about.

We’ll even tell you about rank choice voting and proportional representation that are part of most democracies in the world but not in Connecticut or in the United States.
Rob will tell you why the Electoral College system makes a few states matter during Presidential Elections, while the majority of States are ignored under this system.
