What do you mean by "criss-crossing domains"? State and federal elections? I don't personally see that reinforcing the two-party system nearly so much as, say, the winner-take-all setup of the electoral college does. Makes it hard to be anything like a viable third-party candidate in a presidential election. If you don't capture any electoral votes, you look like you're playing a cute game, and your party doesn't gain credibility.
