Will 2026 finally be the year of third parties in the United States, the year when voters are fed up with our political duopoly?

If you are a US citizen and plan to vote, now is the time to get a passport. A copy of your US birth certificate is a good idea too. Or, you might not be able to register and #vote.

Local elections matter. Here's NBC Philadelphia's story about the newly elected sheriff of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Democrat Danny Ceisler, who has terminated the partnership between his office and ICE. The deal allowed deputies to enforce immigration authority and share information with ICE, and was signed by his predecessor, Republican Fred Harran, a few months before. Ceisler anchored his November campaign around his argument against the ICE partnership and won the election by around 11 percentage points.
