Almost every voter surveyed said they found ranked-choice voting simple to use, with 80 percent indicating it was "very simple."
Something tells me that New Yorkers would have let us know if they didn't like something... good sign for RCV.

"The big idea: If more lawmakers in the House and Senate are, like Murkowski, rewarded rather than punished for working together, the institution as a whole will be far more responsive to voters."

Dartmouth has done a nice promo of my novel The Rationing. No, I did not predict the pandemic--but I did write about that possibility in 2019 because lots of smart people were warning about it. news.dartmouth.edu/news/2020…

Great new video from Represent.us describing some basic state-level reforms that can begin to roll back the partisanship. And Michael Douglas does a great job explaining it all! represent.us/?akid=43909.370…

It's dispiriting to see Warren peddling the same fiction as Trump with regard to where most jobs are lost. The data show that technology is a bigger culprit than trade--but that makes for complex solutions, not "better trade deals." qz.com/1269172/the-epic-mist…
