Electoral revolution and party realignments in modern politics
The piece argues that voting rights expand with 18-year-olds and felon enfranchisement broadens access, while presidential primaries trend toward nationalization. It critiques filing fees as unconstitutional, residency limits, and reapportionment as political reform. It notes splintering parties, Republican debates with China, and Democratic strains toward possible disintegration, warning against coalition rule.
