The candidate says his campaign is more like a protest vote or referendum on the two- party system.

Key Points: 
  • The candidate says his campaign is more like a protest vote or referendum on the two- party system.
  • Manimas claims: "This election-reform project is not to create a third party or spoiler party.
  • Manimas predicted that neither the Republican nor Democratic candidate will win the first ballot count of presidential electoral votes by getting the required 270 electoral-vote majority.
  • Since the Republican Party controls thirty state legislatures, it is possible the Republican could become President with less than one-quarter of the electorate."
