Abstract:
Until 1888, there were no ballot-access laws in the nation. Many vigorous third parties existed, like the Farmers Party, which sought to advance the interests of the common folks or some subset of them. Those parties are gone now because the Republican and Democratic parties have enacted laws to prevent them from getting onto the ballot. North Carolina's ballot requirements are among the most stringent in the nation. Geary discusses the work of the North Carolina Open Elections Coalition, which seeks to open elections to more parties through passage of House Bill 88.
