It is a lot better than aggregated fusion because the third party doesn't give up their sway. I agree, Trent.

I can't find any registration totals, I don't think they use the same registration by party as other states. Also there are only around 600,000 people in Vermont.

If two (or more) political parties have similar view to your own then you should have more freedom to be involved in either. This also allows the party that uses fusion to deliver a bloc of voters to the candidate that supports their views. If there isn't a candidate that supports their views, then they run their own candidate. I think fusion really speaks to the concepts of freedom of association.

And another ballot line, say the Green Party, has say 50,000 enrolled members and has only one ballot line for its candidates. proportional total ballot font size is an easy equal protection way to provide equal ballot display. For independent nominating (independent candidates - say Perot in 1992 in say NYS, his proportional ballot line font size could have been bigger than the GOP or DEM presidential candidate ballot lines.
