Sunday night’s presidential debate between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump no doubt has some voters wishing there was an alternative choice.

There is. Three, actually.

Earlier this year I noted how Libertarian Gary Johnson had qualified to be on Hawaii’s ballot. He and running mate聽Bill Weld are on the ballots of all 50 states.

Well, Green Party candidate is also on the聽ballot. She and running vice presidential candidate Ajamu Baraka are on 44 ballots.

There is also a fifth choice:聽. They are the ticket for the Constitutional Party.

Some argue that America needs a third viable political party to move away from the domination聽of elephants and donkeys.

Others argue that a vote for a third party is a wasted vote likely to help or hurt either an聽elephant or a donkey.

And聽some are considering Canadian citizenship ever more appealing.
