Powerful op-ed from Oakland and Berkeley mayors @LibbySchaaf and @JesseArreguin opposing #AB2808, which would repeal #RCV in their cities.
Please vote no! @asmstevebennett @ib2_real @Blanca_E_Rubio @kevinmullin @Evan_Low @AssemblySeyarto @ChadMayes

With #RankedChoiceVoting, you can vote for your favorite candidate AND have backup choices! This reform gives voters a stronger voice in elections 📣

It’s no secret that political campaigns are divisive, in a game of which base can get the higher turnout.
#RankedChoiceVoting can lead to positive, issues-driven campaigns where candidates all seek to represent you, the voter, and not just their narrow base.

A great, in-depth podcast on proportional representation from our coalition partner @CA4ElecReform's co-president Steve Chessin just dropped! Lots of history about multi-winner #RCV + explanations of how various approaches to PR work. bit.ly/3sR8AUP
Proud to be a part of this movement!
We just had more than 150 people come together, committed to expanding #RankedChoiceVoting across California. We are at the start of something BIG.
What's the deal with #RankedChoiceVoting? You get to vote for the politician you really like the best without spoiling the chances for the major party candidate that you dislike somewhat less than the other one.
#RankedChoiceVoting: the voting system where candidates care both about the breadth and intensity of their appeal. This way, they can't just cater to their base, nor concentrate on just being likable instead of on the policies they plan to enact.
To truly fix the gerrymandering problem, we need to move away from winner-take-all.

What's in the #FairRepAct?
✅#RankedChoiceVoting so no vote is wasted
✅Multi-member districts so everyone has an advocate in Congress
✅Eliminates #gerrymandering

#ProportionalRepresentation (i.e., multi-seat districts) is more inclusive and solves gerrymandering.

Independent commissions for drawing districts is a band-aid on a gushing wound.
The root cause is winner-take-all where 51% of the vote can be turned into 100% of the seats. The real solution is fairly awarding them only 51% of the seats with #ProportionalRepresentation.
Want Congress to do a better job representing you? #ProportionalRepresentation would makes them more representative of our rich diversity.
And as companies and investors have discovered, “More diversity has higher probability of better results.”

Most Americans want a multi-party system, and we need #RankedChoiceVoting and particularly #ProportionalRepresentation to get there.
