Americans Elect 2012 Update

Thanks to Ballot Access News for this post.

On PBS NEWSHOUR, Judy Woodruff interviewed Elliot Ackerman, Chief Operating Officer for Americans Elect and a decorated veteran of both the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, and former Clinton adviser and Democratic pollster Douglas Schoen, who sits on the group's board of advisers.

Judy reports on the latest attempt to push American politics away from a system dominated by two parties by a nonprofit organization called Americans Elect who will host an online national political convention to select the President and Vice President to be on all 50 states' ballot and upend the way candidates are nominated for the U.S. presidency.
