Change the Rule was formed to urge the 17-member Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) to change the rule they established that requires any candidate who is running for President to average 15% in five polls taken just days before the presidential debates in order to participate in those debates.
The Change the Rule Initiative reflects and responds to the views of a growing majority of Americans, who believe that with greater choice and competition in our politics we can move beyond the gridlock that’s paralyzing our political system, weakening our governance and diminishing our country’s prosperity and strength.
Independentvoting.org and its attorney, Harry Kresky, asked the Federal Election Commission to issue a new rule about general election presidential debates. Like the request by Level the Playing Field, Change the Rule Initiative, the request for a new rule seeks to expand entry into those debates. However, the IndependentVoting request points out flaws in the Change the Rule proposal.
