Suggest making ballot access in enough states to theoretically reach 270 be the criteria. This would not only encourage more parties to make this an actual goal for their candidate, it would also be leverage to improving state legislation to ease ballot access.
Righard, it would be interesting to see a list/table of parties and the number of states of which their presidential candidates had ballot access in 2016. Party, ticket, total states, theoretical EVs, states on. Thanks.
