Colorado Representative Max Tyler (D-Lakewood) has introduced HB 1077, which would make it possible for two parties to jointly nominate the same candidate.
If a candidate had the nomination of two parties in the general election, he or she would be listed twice, so that a voter could choose which party line to support.
This is called “disaggregated fusion”, and is in use currently only in New York, Connecticut, Delaware, and South Carolina.
Thanks to Ballot Access News for this post.
Versions of Fusion is also legal in Idaho, Mississippi, Oregon and Vermont. In several other states, notably New Hampshire, fusion is legal when primary elections are won by write-in candidates.
Some states are viewing removing it or adding it.
What do you think about Fusion Voting?
