"If Texas Republicans gerrymander themselves additional advantages on a congressional map they already control 25-12, the stakes will reverberate beyond South Texas," @davedaley3 writes. wapo.st/4nSMs8G

To eliminate gerrymandering, eliminate single-winner districts, which make gerrymandering possible and profitable! Proportional representation is the solution.

Check out what the @washingtonpost Editorial Board has to say about Initiative 83: "The D.C. Council still has time to fund implementation of [Initiative 83]. If it fails to do so, it will tarnish itself and leave D.C. residents worse off." washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…

Another day, another reason to adopt #ProportionalRepresentation. Stop the gerrymandering wars & make general elections competitive. The @RepDonBeyer @RepRaskin #FairRepAct offers a path forward

This is the logical end result of the current no-holds-barred style of politics, and voters are the ones who lose out.

In NYC's primaries, #RankedChoiceVoting gave voters the best of all worlds: A more positive campaign where candidates must reach beyond a small base to win. It's a model for what better elections can look like. See why in my new op-ed for @fulcrum_us ⬇️ thefulcrum.us/electoral-refo…

If only there were a better way. @RepDonBeyer

A thread of how and why DC needs Ranked Choice Voting - Re: The Ward 8 Special Election

🖊️ History made in Ann Arbor! At the Ann Arbor Art Fair, our Executive Director Pat Zabawa proudly signed one of the first official Rank MI Vote petitions to bring Ranked Choice Voting to Michigan! It’s the moment we’ve all been working toward — and this is just the beginning.…

The gerrymandering race to the bottom continues. We need #ProportionalRepresentation #FairRepAct fairvote.org/our-reforms/fa…

On Tuesday, Georgia held a runoff in the Dem primary for a Public Service Commission seat. Turnout dropped 10% vs. the initial primary, & taxpayers may have spent $100 per vote. If Georgia used #RankedChoiceVoting, costly runoffs like this wouldn't be necessary. Learn more ⬇️

This one weird trick will help you stop electing candidates with 30% of the vote @RankTheVoteUSA @AllVotesCountDC @fairvote

The core problem with third parties is that 45 states use plurality voting in general congressional elections. That makes these efforts much more likely to act as spoilers, hurting the traditional party their supporters are closer to, than to win enough seats to matter.

“Voters say they want more choice at the polls, candidates who engage with them, and a genuine, issues-based campaign. They got exactly that in NYC because of #RankedChoiceVoting.” - @davedaley3 in @GuardianUS theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

#RankedChoiceVoting doesn't favor any ideology. As FairVote's @davedaley3 shared on @FastPoliticsPod with @MollyJongFast, it "elects the candidate with the broadest and widest support."

5 takeaways from New York City's second experience with ranked choice voting in a mayoral primary, with @JeffCMays: nytimes.com/2025/07/01/nyr…

Lastly, a new exit poll finds that NYC voters still love ranking: 96% say it’s easy and 76% want to keep it or expand it to more elections. Learn more about New York’s RCV elections ⬇️ fairvote.org/analysis-ranke…

It's not just NYC -- there's exciting #RankedChoiceVoting news today from Charlottesville, VA. The city held its first RCV election in June... 89% want to keep using RCV, and 96% were confident filling out their ballots. @UpVoteVA @SallyLHudson rankedchoiceva.org/news/charlotte…

Also: turnout cracked 1 million voters! That's the highest in a mayoral primary since 1989.

95% of voters weighed in between Cuomo and Mamdani with #RankedChoiceVoting. 152k voters who ranked another candidate first had greater voice with RCV.
