- Fred Lokken, Professor of Political Science, TMCC, says rising frustration with hyper-partisanship is fueling the growth of nonpartisan voters, many of whom are disaffected Republicans and Democrats. “We’re really kind of stuck,” he adds, noting how difficult it is for third parties to gain ballot access in the U.S. and is fueling frustration, disgust, and disconnection.
