Creating a New Political Party

Picture

​There are many reasons why only 2 political parties are recognized by all 50 states. The rules (of law) by which a political party can be formed are mind-numbingly complicated.

​We seek to be recognized by all 50 states so that we can be a true "third" party to every citizen of the United States. 
Each state has unique laws, rules and procedures that must be followed by a political party in order for each state to officially recognize the party. 
There are 19 states that do NOT register voters according to party affiliation:
  1. Alabama
  2. Georgia
  3. Hawaii
  4. Illinois
  5. Indiana
  6. Michigan
  7. Minnesota
  8. Mississippi
  9. Missouri
  10. Montana
  11. North Dakota
  12. Ohio
  13. South Carolina
  14. Tennessee
  15. Texas
  16. Vermont
  17. Virginia
  18. Washington
  19. Wisconsin
In the states that do register voters according to political party preference, nearly a third of all voters are NOT affiliated with any party:
