Richard Winger, the stalwart defender of independent and third party ballot access rights, and the man who has kept the Coalition for Free and Open Elections going, has put the Ballot Access News online as a blog. It is a tremendous resource for news and information about legal challenges to this country’s various draconian ballot access laws, as well as occasional success stories from third parties.

The Drum Major Institute, the non-partisan, non-profit progressive think tank, has launched a new blog. My friends Elana Levin and Amy Traub work for DMI and are among the contributers.
