I have no problem with third parties, IF the rule is that 50% of the votes are required to win the general election. Then the third party is not a spoiler.

But in states like Virginia, where it only takes a plurality to win the general election, third parties really do frustrate the overall will of the voters.

I agree. That should be a nationwide requirement.
