Voters avoid a minor party they prefer because it "can't win" under plurality rules; what barrier is this?
A
Selective incorporation, which prevents third parties from applying Bill of Rights protections to state election laws and procedures.
B
Political socialization, where families teach children to vote major party, making third-party voting illegal or socially punished.
C
Strategic voting and the psychological effect of Duverger's Law, discouraging third-party support because plurality elections reward major parties.
D
The nomination caucus system, which requires third parties to win congressional caucus votes to appear in general elections.
E
Party-line voting mandates, which force voters to choose only one party for all offices, eliminating third-party options entirely.
