Since you are so concerned about 3rd party voters, surely you are working to do away with First Past The Post voting in your state so people can vote outside the two party system without a spoiler effect.
How is the effort to pass electoral reform going in your state?
If you're still unsure about changing the voting system and expanding democracy instead of suppressing it, I will leave you a bunch of videos to help you make up your mind. I'm sure you support democracy and will see that this is the way forward. Not forcing people to vote for your preference, which is not democracy.

First Past The Post voting (What most states use now)
Videos on alternative electoral systems we can try out.
STAR voting
Alternative vote
Ranked Choice voting
Range Voting
Single Transferable Vote
Mixed Member Proportional representation
That's the hope, yeah. I'm all for voting third party in a system where it actually makes sense to do so, we're just not there yet.
Extremely poorly, unfortunately.
