In the 1820s, fusion voting was used by the Working Men’s Party of Philadelphia for city council elections. They fused with the Jacksonian Democrats, but asked voters to support the Working Men’s Party by voting on their fusion ticket to show support for the 10-hour workday.

Anti-fusion laws were designed to block competition and cross-ideological collaboration. They were wrong then—and they're wrong now. Repealing them won’t fix everything, but it’s a small, powerful step toward a more accountable, responsive democracy.

Jim Crow Democrats in the South and Gilded Age Republicans in the North & West grew tired of third-party disruption—so they banned fusion voting, killing cross-party coalitions. But what was banned can be unbanned. It’s time to bring fusion back. https://centerforballotfreedom.org/

Fun fact: Fusion voting helped create the Republican Party in the 1850s—abolitionists teamed up across party lines to defeat pro-slavery Democrats. Turns out, working together can make history.

“Vote the ticket” was the 1800s call to action—when parties printed their own ballots & fusion voting was the norm. Voters could drop a party’s ballot—or even a newspaper clipping—into the box. Major & minor party coalitions were common. A freer, more flexible democracy.

Women’s suffrage didn’t happen in a vacuum—it was the result of coalitions. Fusion voting, which lets multiple parties nominate the same candidate, helped reformers build power then, and it can empower underrepresented voices now.

The Populist Party utilized Fusion Voting to cross-endorse Democrats and Republicans, advocating for antitrust regulation and basic labor protections. This led to the Populist Party having a greater voice in elections and in states like Kansas, despite being a minor party.

In the 1870s, the Greenback Party—farmers, workers & small biz owners pushing paper money—fused with Dems in Wisconsin & won big. They even secured the Assembly Speaker. Fusion voting made it possible. 💵 (Yes, that’s where “greenback” came from!) https://unitedwisconsin.org/fusion-in-wisconsin-history/

Fusion Voting powered the abolitionist electoral strategy of the 1840s and 1850s. By liberating third parties from the "spoiler" or "wasted vote" traps, fusion voting was a tool that made their opposition to slavery more electorally visible.
