Anyone genuinely interested in good governance should embrace open primaries and ranked choice voting. Otherwise you’re just rooting for a team jersey.

Democrats and Republicans once again agree: there is no such thing as a "fair" redistricting plan.
Now can we all agree? It is impossible to make maps "fair" with single-member districts.
This is why we need proportional, multimember districts.

WA becomes the second state (along w/ VA) where a state supreme court will take over redistricting after a commission’s deadlock/failure.

Anyone who wants to give alternatives to the duopoly a real chance to compete - and a more resilient, representative democracy - should be for open primaries and ranked choice voting. @Fwd_Party

Great review of existing research on consequences of ranked-choice voting, and how it may be most useful when combined with other reforms to increase proportionality and the number of parties, such as multi-member districts.

Ranked-choice voting is one of the most popular and fastest-growing political reforms in America. But what do we actually know about the effects of RCV, and what remains uncertain? A new @PolReformNA report by @leedrutman & @maresastrano takes a deep dive: newamerica.org/political-ref…

"Ranked-choice voting isn’t some liberal reform. Republicans have been using it to select candidates in Utah, Virginia, Indiana and many other localities nationwide, to tremendous success… It makes our elections better, cheaper and fairer."

Single-member Congressional districts dilute representation for American voters. The #FairRepAct would replace them with larger, more representative, multi-member districts. bit.ly/FairRepVote

Today, @RepDonBeyer reintroduced the #FairRepAct, which would adopt multi-winner districts with proportional RCV for all House elections. See this thread from @fairvote.
Today let’s talk about the #FairRepAct, which was just reintroduced in Congress by @RepDonBeyer
Whether you’re completely new to this reform, or a long time fan, there are lots of benefits to discuss so let’s get started.

#RankedChoiceVoting means that candidates no longer need to fear 'spoiling the race' for someone else. 🎤 All voices can receive a fair hearing in the political process.

#RankedChoiceVoting "is practiced because it gives the voters a louder voice. 🗣️📣 It’s a way to ensure that the candidate that the people most approve of gets the job. This system of voting is used in Ireland, Australia, and a number of American states." bit.ly/3tJX10s

In cities with #RankedChoiceVoting, "candidates have significantly changed how they’ve campaigned. Instead of slinging mud at the opposition, they focus on the important issues in their communities, making races more positive, clean, and productive." bit.ly/3tWxkuy

#RankedChoiceVoting can make referendums with multiple options fairer
Consider #PuertoRico ➡️ Letting residents choose between statehood, independence, and other options with RCV ensures they don't have to worry about the lesser of two evils while voting. bit.ly/3aaTEZM

The problem: “Broken” election system
The solution: #RankedChoiceVoting
Simple as that.

Yesterday #S1, the #ForThePeople Act, was introduced in the U.S. Senate.
It lays the groundwork for #RankedChoiceVoting by helping states buy machines that count ranked ballots, and sets up a federal study on RCV’s effects. We're glad these crucial provisions are included! 🙌🥳
