As organizers and supporters of the American two-party system, religious institutions serve to suppress the ability of minor parties and independent candidates to organize for electoral competition. The book shows for the first time the nature of this religious barrier and its measurable impact on minor candidates throughout the 20th century, with special attention to the 1992 and 1996 Perot candidacies.
