Allow candidates appearing on the ballot in all 50 states into presidential debates.


Allow candidates appearing on the ballot in all 50 states into presidential debates.
The Issue
Currently, presidential debates only allow participants who have been polling at or above 15%. We believe this is exclusionary and rigs the system in favor of the Republican and Democratic parties.
Given margins of error, the luck of the draw that can be involved in polling, and to allow Americans to see all their options, we support a change to the rules imposed by the Federal Election Commission and Commission on Presidential Debates that would allow any candidate appearing on the ballot in all 50 states to participate in the Presidentiual Debates.
