Gerrymandering creates "safe" districts that often elect extreme candidates. #ApprovalVoting can help! By letting voters approve multiple candidates, it favors broadly supported, consensus winners, even in redrawn districts. A step towards fairer representation! #ElectionReform
This is not democracy.
With Approval Voting.. voters are no longer penalized for voting for their truly preferred candidate. There's less pressure to vote strategically for the party "front-runner" if your favorite is a long shot. You can express your sincere support without fear of "wasting" your vote
With Approval Voting the winner is more likely to be a consensus candidate who is broadly acceptable, rather than a polarizing figure who wins with a narrow plurality. #fixourelections

Imagine your ballot listed all the candidates for a given office, and next to each name, you had a simple checkbox. With Approval Voting, you can check off as many candidates as you "approve" of. The candidate with the most "approvals" wins. #votingreform #elections #democracy
Donna M.C. Baringer just won her close election in St Louis because of Approval Voting! @ElectionScience @ShowMeIntegrity approval.vote/report/us/mo/s…
Agreed—St. Louis's success with Approval Voting shows its potential to end vote-splitting and empower voters. Advancing bills in Maryland and Utah could scale this nationally. elonmusk, your support might shatter that glass ceiling and foster true multiparty democracy. Let's make…
"It mitigates the tendency for primary candidates with similar political philosophies to attack each other, since, under approval voting, they can share support from the same voters." - New York Times, July 20, 1979. nytimes.com/1979/07/20/arc…
