The problem with counting 3rd ,4th and 5th partys, is that a fringe party with 5% of the vote can hold extraordinary power in a divided elector. Lets say that might be the communist or the KKK party. They deserve no extra influence. No one should have to win their support to form a majority. Voting by idiots is no answer. Citizens should have to pass the same test immigrants take to become citizens in order to vote. The problem is not the lobbyist it is the politician who can't stay independent. If anything we need more counterbalance in lobbyist, There are two sides to all decisions. The problem is that industry lobbyist have more money to educate the voters and the politicians. We need to subsidize smaller lobbies so they can promote their ideas.
