Much of the public doesn't actually get this. I've met many people who actually think that the "two party system" is defined in the Constitution and can't imagine what people in "third parties" are thinking - must just be some wackos. Starting from such a poor knowledge of the political system, it's very difficult for them to understand how these two unregulated groups have evolved into the criminal gangs they are today - with no other purpose than to maintain power for themselves and steal money from the public.

I don't know if they also have a "gender quota" of 50% women, as Democratic primary elections have. Earlier when voting machines were used in Maryland, voter had to select 50% females and males or the mahine would lock. It's clear violation of 19 the Amendment as you can not list or compel candidates race under 15th Amendment. The procedure was ruled unconstitutional by District Court Judge Black, but the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed it Richmond. In Bachur v. Democratic National Party, 836 F.2d 837 (4th Cir. 1987 Alan Korwin,
