The American Anti-Corruption Act takes on the influence of money in politics by limiting the power of wealthy donors, lobbyists, and special interests over elected officials. It proposes stronger rules around campaign contributions, greater transparency for political spending, restrictions on the revolving door between government and lobbying, and a system that gives everyday citizens a greater role in financing campaigns. The goal is simple: politicians should be accountable to the people they represent, not to the people with the biggest checks.
Our current winner-take-all elections create a major problem for candidates outside the two major parties. Voters may genuinely prefer an independent or third-party canaidate, but fear that voting for them will split the vote and help elect the major-party candidate they like least. This is commonly known as the spoiler effect.
Ranked-choice voting gives voters a way around that problem. A voter can rank an independent or third-party candidate first, while ranking another candidate as their second choice. If their first choice is eliminated, their vote can continue to count toward their next choice.
This means voters don’t have to choose between voting for the candidate they actually want and voting strategically.
Under the current semi-open primary system, voters have to choose between voting on the Democratic or Republican side of the ballot. This means voters are effectively choosing a party before they can vote for the candidates they believe would best represent them.
A full open primary would put all candidates on one ballot, regardless of political party. Voters could choose any candidate they believe is best qualified, without having to select a party ballot first.
When candidates must first win their party’s primary, they often have an incentive to focus on the most committed voters within that party. A single primary gives candidates an incentive to appeal to a broader group of voters from across the political spectrum.
Instead of asking voters to choose a party first and a candidate second, a full open primary puts the focus where it belongs: on the candidates and there issues.
