With proportional representation & multi-member districts, "all voters can affect elections by affecting their party’s representation.
These reforms also reduce polarization, restrain gerrymandering, & boost competition."

"San Jose is facing a shortfall of over $50 million that could force the city to cut spending on vital services. But it may have to spend millions on runoff elections.
It’s a cost that could be avoided w/ ranked choice voting."

There’s a lot of talk about California’s top-two primary.
#RankedChoiceVoting would make the system even stronger.
Thanks to @CalRCV's Marcela Miranda-Prieto for writing this w/ me.
Instead of repealing its top-two primaries, “California should continue its history of pro-voter reform and build on the top-two system – by adding ranked choice voting to its elections.”
– @MeredithSumpter & @CalRCV’s Marcela Miranda-Prieto on solving CA's "lockout" problem

Great analysis from @NickTroiano & @uniteamerica.
Thanks to gerrymandering, 92% of 2026 House races are decided long before November, according to @CookPolitical.
Multi-member districts & proportional representation would end gerrymandering for good. #ProportionalRepresentation

Unite America Institute, which tracks what it refers to as the "primary problem" and advocates for election reforms, calculated that in 2024, just 7% voters elected 87% of U.S. House races.
@NickTroiano, executive director of Unite America, said the mid-decade redistricting prompted by Trump last year has further reduced the number of competitive seats. His organization says 32 states currently don't have a single competitive congressional race.
"The primary problem is bad and getting worse," he told @NPR. "We are about to enter a midterm election season that will be the least competitive of our lifetimes, which means that we will have, no matter who wins in November, the least accountable Congress of our lifetime."

The Florida state legislature will consider a new congressional map this week. It’s the latest front in a gerrymandering war between red & blue states.
We could end gerrymandering for good w/ a national shift to proportional representation.

ICYMI: Better Ballot Sacramento is working to bring ranked choice voting to local elections.
If their proposal is approved by voters, Sacramento would combine its low-turnout primary & general election.
That will give tens of thousands more voters a say.

Polls suggest 2 Republicans and 0 Dems may advance from deep-blue California’s “top-two” primary for governor.
If California used ranked choice voting, voters would get more choices & more representative results. 👀 @CalRCV

Santa Clara County, CA taxpayers paid an estimated $13 million for a Dec. 30 runoff election. Just 20% of eligible voters participated.
Ranked choice voting makes runoffs unnecessary; voters pick majority winners in a single, high-turnout election ➡️ @CalRCV #RankedChoiceVoting

Turnout in runoffs typically drops about 40% – even when not in the middle of the holidays.
But Santa Clara County voters are being asked to vote in a Dec 30 runoff.
Great op-ed from @CalRCV's Tom Charron on how #RankedChoiceVoting delivers a majority winner without runoffs. ⬇️

Op-ed: "Tell your county supervisor: It’s time to save money and enjoy our holidays without more politics. Let Santa Clara County adopt ranked choice voting." – Tom Charron, co-founder @CalRCV sanjosespotlight.com/charron…
