I'm a little suspicious of it to be honest. I can see the potential upside but, what could go wrong? How can it be abused or gamed? Will it actually change anything? My perspective is coming from a state pretty strongly dominated by one party and that often shapes my concerns.
I think it would change things. I think it would make it a lot easier to justify voting for third-party candidates, since it wouldn’t split the vote between GOP and Dem candidates. Maybe I’m wrong, but I think there are a lot of folks who really want to vote for a third-party candidate but are afraid to do so because they’re afraid of splitting the vote and causing the bad guys (from their perspective) to win.

I agreed to the NAP when I clicked on the little party thing.
Or perhaps this is an attempt to use Cunningham's Law to summon others from far and wide.
