Peter Ackerman and Larry Diamond have this op-ed in the Washington Post. It condemns U.S. election laws and practices that make it difficult for new parties and independent candidates to compete against the Republican and Democratic Parties. Peter Ackerman was a leader of Americans Elect 2010-2012. Larry Diamond is a scholar at the Hoover Institute.
