Fusion voting has deep roots in America 🇺🇸 In 1854, Free Soilers & anti-slavery groups fused in Ripon, WI to form the Republican Party. After the Civil War, it united poor farmers & Black voters in NC. A tradition of building power together. #FusionVoting #Democracy @civicleague.bsky.social

Great policy white paper here by Andy Craig. #FusionVoting helped GOP come to power.
Third parties are actually great, they just can’t win with their own candidates.
Ask your friend from New York if they voted for Harris on the Democratic line or the Working Families line.

Obligatory plug because I wrote a thing about why fusion is good and you should like it and the Constitution says so and also Abe Lincoln.

The fact is, people heard from @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social , and they liked what they heard. All Dems should make a note of that.

In what became a prevailing false narrative on Election Day, Elon Musk and others suggested NYC ballots were deceptively formatted to boost Zohran Mamdani.
But Mamdani and Curtis Sliwa were both listed twice because each was endorsed by two parties, per state election law.

GOP was not a major party before the Civil War. #FusionVoting made them a major party. We can use Fusion Voting to make GOP a third party again.
History lesson: Throughout the 1800s, the two major parties – first the Democrats and the Whigs, and then after the Civil War the Democrats and the Republicans – shared the political stage with a host of smaller parties. centerforballotfreedom.org/fusion-in-am...

#FusionVoting is like #Halloween for democracy 🎃—you can wear more than one mask, but it’s still you underneath. Parties can cross-endorse the same candidate, giving voters more choice without any tricks. 🗳️🍬

Want leaders who work together instead of catering to extremes? Change the rules. Fusion voting could counter division, reward collaboration, & give voters a reason to believe again. 🔥 #FusionVoting #Democracy @civicleague.bsky.social

#FusionVoting isn’t new—it helped found the GOP in Ripon, WI. It gives voters agency by letting one candidate appear on multiple party lines, with votes tallied together. In WI’s razor-thin races, even 5–6% could shift power & force politicians to listen. @allbaughshow.bsky.social @civicmedia.us

Fusion voting lets candidates appear under multiple party lines on the ballot.
Supporters say it can strengthen third parties and encourage major parties to work together. A simple reform with big potential. #FusionVoting #DemocracyReform www.news8000.com/news/la-cros...

History reminds us: Liberty, Free Soil & Anti-Nebraska parties used fusion to force the nation to confront slavery—eventually giving rise to the GOP. Fusion is as American as apple pie, and reviving it could restore our nation’s soul. #FusionVoting #Democracy
