Great video, well done @WACommAlliance!❤️
When we talk about “proportional representation”, we mean that all groups of people get representation in the government that’s proportional to their share of the population. We’re working to make that happen with #RCV and multi-member districts! youtu.be/BPErGU_XpTs

Competitive elections are important. Without them, candidates have less incentive to engage with voters. Research shows that under #RankedChoiceVoting elections, candidates are more engaged with the electorate and run more positive campaigns! fairvote.org/resources/data-…

#RankedChoiceVoting helps us in the battle against plurality elections. It helps us ensure that candidates are elected with sweeping support instead of just 20 or 30 percent of the vote.

When the vote is "split," the candidate elected may not have broad support. Since #RankedChoiceVoting mitigates "vote splitting," it helps ensure our representatives are widely supported.

Every phone call, door-knock, text, donation, and vote made a difference.
Thank you to everyone who stepped up and showed that better elections in Washington are coming – this is just the start.

Ranked choice voting is gaining popularity because it’s giving people a better voice in their democracy. People can vote for the candidates they align with instead of being forced to vote defensively every election. RCV makes our democracy stronger. That’s why I support it.

I’m extremely glad to see ranked choice voting expanding to Nevada, with proposals for it becoming more and more common across the country. RCV is the way forward — a way of letting us vote for who we want, rather than just voting against who we don’t. It makes us all better off.

America votes with Ranked Choice Voting on Nov 8 democracysos.substack.com/p/…
"How can we achieve gender balance in gubernatorial representation?
1. Fund women candidates equally.
2. Implement #RankedChoiceVoting.
3. Prioritize gender balance in cabinets."
"Governors, male and female alike, play a crucial role in advancing women’s representation. Governors set the state’s policy agenda, appoint judges and have opportunities to uplift women."
