Ross Perot has died. He got almost 19% of the popular vote in 1992 -- and zero electoral votes. The Electoral College erases third parties.

@peterdrake Thats not accurate at all. Having winner take all voting is the only thing eliminating third parties. Institute ranked choice voting and you fix the issues with third parties and manage to retain all of the benefits for which the electoral college was created in the first place. Although it helps if we first reverse many of the laws that limit the powers of the electoral college in the first place. It is very different than the state it was originally in.
