Following two years of hard work, the American Bar Association’s bipartisan Task Force for American Democracy urged states to adopt #RankedChoiceVoting to “reduce polarization and increase accountability” in our politics. That’s exactly what we need in our democracy, and RCV can deliver.

Our country is built on the simple idea that our government’s authority can only come from the consent of “We the People.” #RankedChoiceVoting can help our government live up to that promise. Happy #ConstitutionDay!

“Born to run?” Not in our 2 party system. Bruce Springsteen says we need "an effective alternative party…who can speak to the majority of the nation.” Most Americans agree. But without #RankedChoiceVoting, 3rd parties will just be seen as spoilers & struggle to break through.

Check out new @FairVote graphics on the power of #ProportionalRepresentation. Tens of millions of Americans have no real voice in Congress b/c they’re not the “winners” of a winner-take-all election. PR would give all voters a voice & break Congress free from gerrymandering.

👀 Senator Joe Manchin is right. Voters, parties, and elected officials alike should embrace reforms like #RankedChoiceVoting and open primaries. RCV gives voters more choice & pushes politicians to work for all of us. pbs.org/wnet/amanpour-…

When voters feel they have no real voice in Congress, they lose faith in elections as a tool for change. #ProportionalRepresentation can repair our democracy by giving every voter greater voice. More from American Academy of Arts & Sciences ⬇️

Today, the Supreme Court will consider the future of the Voting Rights Act in Louisiana v. Callais. The VRA has helped our country live up to its founding ideals for six decades. This is about fair representation. We should fully restore the VRA. fairvote.org/protecting-the…

A reminder that #RankedChoiceVoting is a truly party-neutral tool from Republican NYC Councilmember Frank Morano. With a crowded field, NYC's next mayor could be elected w/ less than 50%. RCV ensures majority winners while giving voters more choice & more say.

The cost of living keeps rising. Our nation is grappling w/ political violence. Our gov’t can’t keep the lights on. But we can push lawmakers to lower the temperature & work together for all of us. How? #RankedChoiceVoting & #ProportionalRepresentation.
