House Democrats recently passed the comprehensive H.R.1 measure in an effort to make huge expansions to the US voting rights, and to implement a major overhaul of campaign finance and redistricting laws. However, the measure isn’t perfect, and will more than likely cause serious hurdles for third parties, an official told Sputnik.
Howie Hawkins, the co-founder of the US’ Green Party, recently acknowledged that while the passage of the H.R.1 bill would help to secure voting rights for Americans, the Democrat-backed measure would ultimately cause serious troubles for any third party campaign that seeks to compete in a race.

Stop HR-1, the Voting Rights Bill That Restricts Voter Choice
HR-1 is sold as a way to get money out of politics and to protect voters, but it contains a poison pill for democracy and opposition parties like the Green Party in its campaign finance reform section. HR1 quintuples the amount of money Green presidential campaigns will be required to raise to qualify for federal matching funds: from $5,000 in each of 20 states to $25,000 per state.
The Green Party stands opposed to this bait-and-switch legislation that claims to improve access to voting while actually dismantling everyone s right to organize electorally against the parties of War and Wall Street. In a recent Gallup poll, a record 62% of US voters said we need a new major party.
