      Lovász and the reviewer proved that a connected graphic matroid M is the sum of two matroids of rank at least one if and only if M-e is disconnected for at least one element e. Cunningham generalized this for binary maroids. The present author gives a shorter proof for the general result, using geometric ideas of Mason and a theorem of Lucas on rank preserving weak maps.
