Wouldn't that be true freedom? Why can't we have more choice? Don't you trust the American people to make the best choice's The system we have now is restrictive and not true freedom.

I am not implying that people can't vote because there are not enough ballots. I am saying that you or anyone who is not a criminal can not get on the ballot and be elected without jumping thru a obsticle course designed by the current politicians to deter competition and that deny's the citizens of their freedom of choice and I believe it too be unconstitutional.

I'm not sure what you're questioning. Last time I voted, there weren't different ballots for different people. Everyone had the same options to vote for. Other than being a citizen, a resident of the precinct you're voting in, and a non-felon (all of which seem like very good qualifiers to me), I'm not sure what you're complaining about.
If that is what you're complaining about, then you need to go away.

It is open to all citizens 18 and over who have not committed a felony. All one has to do is register to vote. We cannot have people below adulthood casting ballots. They don't know enough about life yet if that is what you are driving at.
If you are talking about running. That is open to all too. All you have to do is pay the fees for registering as a candidate and garner enough signatures of support to get your name on the ballot and you are on the ballot. It isn't complicated at all.

If you mean open primaries, you should spell it out, because it sounds like you're implying that voting rights are being denied citizens, and they're not. In fact, most states are so paranoid about possibly excluding legitimate voters that they leave a lot of room for systematic election fraud.

Because having more than 2 choices is too much for most politicians to handle, so they think that is true for us normal people as well and limit our choice to only Dems & Reps. IT IS VERY SAD

Why because they don't want us to be able to vote for someone who isn't bought and paid for.
