Access to voter lists

 If you have ever wondered why the Republican and Democratic parties have such a lock on the American electoral system, consider this example.

The state of Alabama gives a free list of registered voters to qualified parties (Reps and Dems), to state legislators, to the state administrative office of courts, and to election officials of other states.  

Let’s say you are a Libertarian Party activist trying to get enough signatures to qualify as a political party in Alabama.  You can also get the list of registered voters, only you have to pay $35,913.
