What a story Raja! Thanks for sharing. How differently would people vote, how would the entire system change, if voters knew the full range of choices? Maybe one day we will know.

Guaranteed coverage for all who make the ballot? I took the contrary position in 2010. http://r8ny.com/2010/09/08/zero-posterity-the-story-of-e-bey-aka-lentol-soup-the-bane-de-soleil/

I know this world all too well, both as a former press and as a former Press Secretary for a City Council Representative, I don't miss it. I do remember being that bright-eyed young reporter wanting to cover every candidate for a wide variety of reasons; perhaps the change you seek to make will come through your writing. Being able to self-publish is quite liberating; I look forward to reading more posts on your Substack.
