They’ve already been doing that, for years in fact, both through Richard Winger’s organization CFOE and through lawsuits onto which two or more of the various minor parties have signed.

If they do not, then it is very unlikely such issues will get any notice. Barr may be worried about burning too many bridges with the GOP after the election or he may simply not be interested in any sort of coalition work on electoral reform issues.

I cannot say I was too impressed with the selection of Barr for the LP nominee. I was not surprised as he probably had the most office holding experience of any of the candidates, but does require a rather ‘sudden’ conversion on certain issues, like electoral reform.

One has to ask why didn’t he push for fair and equitable ballot access while he was in office? Or sought to change the debate rules?
