This control that the Democrats and Republicans hold over election law inhibits the growth of: third parties in America.

Explanation: Within American "third party" politics, the third party is largely the minor parties not included within the top two dominant political parties (historically in modern society Democrat and Republican). Even though third party candidates rarely win American elections, they often bring attention to issues largely ignored/overlooked by the majority parties. Examples of third parties include the following: Libertarian, Reform, and Green.
