I hope that 2018 is the year people realize that third-party candidates can
really make a (negative) difference. Conor Lamb squeaked this one out; if he
didn't, what would those third-party voters say? Would it be yet another round
of ""Don't blame ME for Trump; I voted MY conscience!"" that we got in 2016
with the 1.1 % of American voters who voted for Jill Stein and the 3.28 % who
voted for Gary Johnson?
