"...Andrew Yang [surmised] that 'five or six' major political parties would ease the country's deep-rooted polarization... [T]he Forward Party... seeks to bridge partisan lines by cultivating support for electoral reforms... such as ranked choice voting.” washingtonexaminer.com/news/…

“37 of the 50 states, where three-quarters of Americans live, are ruled by a single party.” That's crazy, and it's dangerous for American democracy. #ProportionalRepresentation would begin to fix it. economist.com/leaders/2022/0…

"There may also be a ray of hope for lessened partisanship in the system known as ranked choice voting... It should encourage candidates of all kinds to move away from their base of support to compete for voters between the bases." npr.org/2022/06/18/110592748…

In a time of national division, polarizing primaries are part of the problem

It is said the best medicine for what ails democracy is more democracy. But what does more democracy mean? If it just means more of the kind of politics we have now then it hardly offers a remedy.

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 calmatters.org/commentary/20…
Ranked choice voting is under threat

Ranked choice voting is under threat

It works, it’s cost-effective, it makes for more representative government and voters like it. But Assembly Bill 2808 seeks to end a method for casting ballots that voters themselves have chosen.

#California is wonderfully diverse. But our politics don't reflect it. #RCV is a great first step toward a more representative government. Check out this awesome tool from @CalMatters and see how many of our elected officials remind you of yourself! calmatters.org/politics/cali…

One Black senator, one female Asian American assemblymember: California legislators don’t reflect the racial or ethnic diversity of the state.

Easy to use. Easy to understand. Popular with those who have access to it. Imagine stepping into that voting booth and voting for the candidate you like the best, not just the one whom you think has the best chances. Transformative? Yes. #RCV #California #Reform @RankTheVoteNYC

Beyond the violent and vitriolic events of January 6, 2021, last year’s insurrection underscored just how polarized our politics have become. It has become nearly impossible for our elected officials to work together to solve our nation’s largest problems.
