    3: Many believe 3rd party votes don't matter
    4: Single Member Districts: one person wins the entire state's electoral votes based on a simple majority.

    Voting Systems
    1: Single District Members ^
    2: Proportional Systems:  Unlike single-member districts, proportional systems have multiple candidates per party for a potential legislative position, and, once the votes are counted, these candidates are given proportional positions in government. This allows 3rd parties to get members into government positions without having to get a majority of the votes
    3:


    Types of 3rd parties
    1. Ideological Parties
      1. Parties that adhere to a consistent ideology that spans many issues
    2. Splinter Parties
      1. Parties that break off from larger parties, bringing new ideologies with them
    3. Single Issue Parties
      1. Parties that focus on promoting a single issue
