With fusion voting, voters could back a viable candidate on the GOP line or on, say, the @unitedkansas.bsky.social party line—created for those fed up with both parties’ extremes. It’s a path forward that respects freedom of association and gives voters the broader choices they want.

As America wrestles with political extremism, fusion voting could be a game‑changer: it lets minor parties cross‑nominate major party candidates, counting all votes together — restoring choice, reducing polarization, & empowering the center. @unitedkansas.bsky.social www2.ljworld.com/opinion/loca...

Kansas voters deserve more choices and less division. Fusion voting lets candidates build coalitions across parties — not just red or blue. Glad to see @ljworld spotlight this path forward for democracy. 🔗 Read here www2.ljworld.com/opinion/loca... #UnitedKansas #Democracy #KansasPolitics #KsLeg

Kansas could lead the Midwest in a democratic revival—more freedom for voters, less partisan control over politics. 🌾🗳️ @donhineman.bsky.social @unitedkansas.bsky.social The state’s fusion ban isn’t just outdated—it violates our constitutional rights. This isn’t just a lawsuit. It’s a movement.

#FusionVoting is practical and powerful. 🗳️ @donhineman.bsky.social @unitedkansas.bsky.social It lets voters back real issues—like rural development or education—without wasting their vote. Minor parties get a voice, & candidates must appeal beyond the base. #MoreVoicesMoreChoices #DemocracyReform

It’s not every day a former Dem & GOP governor agree on fixing democracy—but Jon Corzine and Christine Todd Whitman just did. In New Jersey, they’re calling to revive fusion voting: more choice, more accountability, less toxic politics. NJ could lead the way. 👀 #FusionVoting 🗳️ #DemocracyReform

Kansas has a proud history of #FusionVoting. 🇺🇸 @donhineman.bsky.social @unitedkansas.bsky.social Until the early 1900s, it fueled real competition, gave voters more choices, and amplified their voices—from the ballot box to the Statehouse. Time to bring it back. #KSpolitics #MoreVoicesMoreChoices

Pro-democracy folks: 👀 @newsweek.com piece by @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social & Tom Rogers highlights the @americanbar.org Task Force report urging states to revisit fusion voting. Re-legalizing fusion = more choice, less polarization, stronger democracy. Coalition politics beats authoritarianism.

A sneak preview from our forthcoming podcast: Guest @perrybaconjr.bsky.social gives his take on better ways to bring new parties into our democracy than just a party in Elon Musk's image.

From @leedrutman.bsky.social to Elon Musk: If you’re serious about building a third party, then start with #FusionVoting. It’s how minor parties gain real power—by cross-nominating major party candidates and showing where their votes come from. Ballot lines = leverage. Third parties = power.

United Kansas’ lawsuit against the 1901 anti-fusion law is a reminder that we can learn a lot from our history. There was a time in Kansas when voters had more choices. Read more at: www.kansascity.com/opinion/read...

🚨 BREAKING NEWS from New Jersey: The NJ Moderate Party has filed briefs in its fusion voting case before the state Supreme Court. The goal? Overturn the century-old ban & revive voter choice. Read the docs at @protectdemocracy.org—this is key in the fight against authoritarianism. 🗳️👊 🔑

Tired of being told your vote doesn’t matter unless you pick a “lesser evil”? There’s a better way. United Kansas is fighting for voter freedom, fusion voting, and real representation. Let’s break the two-party chokehold. 🌻 www.UnitedKansas.com #KSleg #UnitedKansas

Kansans deserve real choices—not just red vs. blue. Fusion Voting empowers local voices, but Kansas still bans it. United Kansas is fighting to change that. Join us, register, rise. 💥 🌻 www.UnitedKansas.com #UnitedKansas #FusionVoting #KSleg

We’re all in on fusion voting—because being a minor party shouldn't mean being a spoiler. ✅ It lets candidates appear on the ballot under multiple party lines, giving voters more choice without splitting the vote. More democracy, more power. 🗳️ #FusionVoting @unitedkansas.bsky.social‬

Feels almost silly to talk about party reform while democracy burns—but we have to. The cruelty, chaos, & capture we’re seeing? All made possible by our broken, winner-take-all two-party system. It’s not just undemocratic—it’s unstable.

More parties = more stability. A generation from now, a multiparty system could mean less whiplash, fewer extremes, and a government that’s—dare we say—boring and functional. #FusionVoting #ElectionReform @unitedkansas.bsky.social‬

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Musk is suddenly calling for a third party—cute. But it's not money that blocks new parties, it's rigged rules. Want real change? Support rules reform that enables constructive new parties to form. Visit @centerforballotfreedom.org and help fix the system.

Fusion voting is a simple, proven reform. No need to reinvent the wheel—New York and Connecticut already do it, and Kansas used to. The idea is alive, gaining traction, and ready to give voters more power. #FusionVoting #ElectionReform @unitedkansas.bsky.social‬

Hyperpartisan polarization is a uniquely American crisis. Unlike most countries with systems that encourage compromise & coalition, our two-party system forces division. The solution? #FusionVoting—a way to inject proportionality & cooperation, avoiding the winner-takes-all disaster. #ElectionReform

Fusion voting is about political association—a right protected in our Constitution. If individuals can align with multiple values, why can’t candidates? That’s the foundation of @unitedkansas.bsky.social‬'s argument. #FusionVoting #ElectionReform

KS needs more political competition—not less. A new lawsuit may bring back fusion voting, a system that once gave 3rd parties real influence. It’s time to give voters more choices, not just red vs. blue. 🗳️⚖️ ‪ @donhineman.bsky.social‬ @unitedkansas.bsky.social‬ www.kansas.com/opinion/arti...

Fusion voting fosters collaboration, not division. It pushes candidates to build broad coalitions & address more voices—not just party extremes. A more stable, responsive government starts w/ a system that rewards problem-solving over partisanship. #FusionVoting #Democracy @unitedkansas.bsky.social

Kansas had fusion voting over 100 years ago—until major parties banned it to protect their power. The Kansas Constitution supports political association, so why limit it to one party? It’s time to restore voter choice and real competition. @unitedkansas.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live/Mp38vkr...

Kansas banned fusion voting over 100 years ago to silence competition. It’s time to reverse that. Fusion lets candidates appear on the ballot under multiple parties — more choice, more voice, less division. This @KCStar op-ed makes the case: www.kansas.com/opinion/arti... #FusionVoting #ksleg

Representatives from the United Kansas party had the chance to share information and their platforms in Liberal Saturday morning, and part of the meeting featured a Q&A session. liberalfirst.com/index.php/en...

“The Kansas Constitution’s Bill of Rights doesn’t bend for political convenience — it demands freedom. The benefits of fusion voting are clear and practical.” - Former Senate President Steve Morris and Former House Majority Leader Don Hineman Read more at: www.kansas.com/opinion/arti...

Fusion voting—where multiple parties can nominate the same candidate — offers a remedy. It would make minor parties constructive players in the political process, help bridge divides, and give voters more choice and more voice. Read more at: www.kansas.com/opinion/arti...

Fusion voting could make the GOP more responsive to principled conservatives in Kansas—letting multiple parties nominate the same candidate & combining their votes. It worked until the early 1900s... maybe it's time for a comeback? 🤔🗳️ #ElectionReform #FusionVoting @donhineman.bsky.social

Come and meet the @unitedkansas.bsky.social crew this weekend. Stay informed about the United Kansas Party, the latest news on fusion voting, and more. 👇👇👇 liberalfirst.com/index.php/en...

Fusion voting gives power back to voters. Some won’t vote Democrat or Republican—but they might vote for the same candidate under a different banner. This holds parties accountable and lets voters choose the person, not just the party. #FusionVoting #ElectionReform @unitedkansas.bsky.social
