Dear LBR,
     I am going to provide you with the data, but offhand, it seems to me
that most of the action of nominating canidates by two parties is the
result of a shortage of candidates.

     Below is a collection of all the districts that did have candidates
nominated by two parties.

Regards,
Donald

     Any group of reform activists that are thinking about a petition drive
to place a proposal on the ballot are to present their proposal beforehand
to all other reform activists that they know of. The time for debate and
negative comments is before the petition stage. Once the group makes its
final proposal and enters the petition stage, the debates and negative
comments by all reform activists is to cease.
    At this time each activist is to make an honest evaluation. If the
initiative will improve government then each activist is to find it in his
heart to support the initiative, even if it is not exactly what the
activist would like.
