why are they a problem? I didn't think they got enough votes to be a problem. But if in the unlikely event a third party candidate got enough electoral votes to keep anyone from getting a majority, there is already a provision in the Constitution to deal with that. I would say let the scenario just play out. The country wouldn't fall apart.
