Title: Third party blues
Description: More than many areas of American politics research, studies of minor party competition and success are often overly driven by normative concerns backed by little empirical scrutiny. This book presents a concerted effort to analyze the barriers in election law, such as ballot access restrictions and single-member districts with a plurality rule, that prevent third parties from gaining a durable hold in American politics.
