The League of Women Voters is an American political organization founded in 1920 by Carrie Chapman Catt during the last meeting of the National American Woman Suffrage Association approximately six months before the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution gave women the right to vote. It began as a “mighty political experiment” aimed to help newly-enfranchised women exercise their responsibilities as voters. Originally, only women could join the league; but in 1973 the charter was modified to include men. The league is a grassroots organization with chapters in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The league has approximately 150,000 members (as of 2006).
The league is ostensibly nonpartisan, refusing to endorse or oppose political candidates or parties at any level of government. The league does, however, support or oppose many political issues after studying them and coming to a consensus on a position, which consensus almost invariably favors the liberal position on every issue considered. The league works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and to influence public policy through education and advocacy, as well as through political lobbying of Congress.
The league is organized into two complementary halves: Voter service and citizen education; and program and action.
The term third party is used in the United States for a political party other than one of the two major parties (Democratic Party and Republican Party). It also includes independents and write in candidates.
The United States has had a two-party system for over a century. Following Duverger’s law, the winner take all system for presidential elections and the single-seat plurality voting system for Congressional elections have over time created the two-party system.
Third party candidates very rarely win any elections. For example, such a candidate only won a U.S. Senate election twice (0.6%) since 1990. Therefore, it is very rare to have a national officeholder without having a party affiliation with a major party. Currently, there are two U.S. Senators (Joe Lieberman/Bernie Sanders), who fit this criteria while no Governor or U.S. Representative does. The last U.S. President without a major party affiliation was Andrew Johnson, who switched from a Democrat to independent while being in office.
Although rarely do third party candidates actually win an election, they can have an effect on them. If performed well, they are often being accused of having a spoiler effect. Sometimes they have won votes in the electoral college, as in the 1832 Presidential election. They can draw attention to issues that may be ignored by the majority parties. If the issue finds resonance with the voters, one or more of the major parties may adopt the issue into its own party platform. Also, a third party may be used by the voter to cast a protest vote as a form of referendum on an important issue. Third parties may also help voter turnout bringing more people to the polls. Third party candidates at the top of the ticket can help to draw attention to other party candidates down the ballot, helping them to win local or state office. In 2004 the U.S. electorate consisted of an estimated 43% registered Democrats and 33% registered Republicans, with independents and those belonging to other parties constituting 25%.
