OSR was funded by @fairvote, where I previously worked for eight years. In many ways, OSR is an aggregation of all the stuff I learned and created while there.

Finally, scroll through this Twitter account's history for a lot of good stuff. I posted a lot of really useful factoids and stats over the years, and I still find myself referring to it sometimes.

I (Drew) the lead author of OSR and guy who ran this account, now work for @protctdemocracy, where I am still making the case for proportional representation. See my interview with them about OSR: x.com/protctdemocracy/status…

Our reps are essentially chosen for us when district lines are drawn, but they don’t have to be. A new series of essays by lead author Drew Penrose explores how proportional representation could restore choice, competition, & representation to democracy. ifyoucankeepit.org/p/why-dis…

"His failings illustrated why, in our polarized era, it’s no longer fair to voters for a partisan politician to oversee elections.".... What's the solution? See policy options from @ERN_Reformers here: electionreformers.org/articl…

"reforms that make voting easier are an important piece to the low turnout puzzle, but they’re not sufficient to drive participation. People also need to want to vote in the first place."

NEW: Our current electoral system creates an environment for political apathy to fester, but upgrading it with proportional representation can put us on a better path for all voters to finally feel connected to their government, @hill_charlotte argues.

We have a big supply of misinformation in the U.S. because we have a big demand for it -- thanks in part to the us-vs-them nature of our broken electoral system.
Check out this important new report from @AaronTiedemann and @PolReformNA.

No matter how you slice it, winner-take-all prevents democratic outcomes. Let's advocate for electoral reforms like rank choice voting to ensure equitable representation that goes beyond tokenism.
ALT Graphic on a yellow background. Headline reads "No Matter How You Slice It, Winner-Take-All Prevents Democratic Outcomes" Two row of graphics follow. The first row shows a diverse "Your Community" graphic that leads to a graphic that says "Your Elected Officials." The second graphic shows 3 diverse "Your District" graphic that leads to the same "Your Elected Officials" as before.

I share Rob's optimism, in no small part thanks to his tireless efforts to push the ball forward on critical democracy reforms through times when everyone else said they were impossible.
After 31 years leading FairVote’s remarkable impact, @Rob_Richie will step down as President/CEO on Nov 1 and take on a full-time Sr Advisor role. Rob: “I’m profoundly optimistic about what we can achieve together to seek a more perfect union.” 👇

If you'll forgive me for sticking my oar in, I'd say you need to place your faith in yourself.
The question is whether we can all organize to make the democracy we want.
There are always those who resist change. The only way to overcome it is through organization.

After severe blowback, the councilmembers have backed off. Portland is full steam ahead for implementing proportional RCV in its next city elections. oregonlive.com/news/2023/07/…

Some councilmembers in Portland have been trying to mess with the charter reform that passed last year. Portland voters will not stand for it.

Great organizing today by @charter_reform to uphold will of voters in Portland (OR). This article shows that the city councilors proposing to rush to the ballot measures without almost any community dialogue is a lot less likely after today's hearing. wweek.com/news/city/2023/07/…

Voters do not like it when they pass things directly and then politicians try to undermine them.
