Tired: Independent commissions will fix gerrymandering. Wired: Democrats just need to bring a knife to knife fight in the redistricting wars. Inspired: Proportional representation makes gerrymandering pointless and irrelevant.

“[#ProportionalRepresentation]... implements democracy better than mid-decade gerrymandering wars by shifting power away from legislatures and back to the people—the ‘only legitimate fountain of power.’” #ProRep #ElectoralReform #EndGerrymandering rstreet.org/commentary/pr-…

“In 1967, Congress required congressional districts be represented by a single member, which has prevented states from experimenting with #ProportionalRepresentation... that might provide more partisan balance and diminish the importance of maps.” washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…

Single party dominance is rarely good for transparency in government. With the CA GOP making itself irrelevant by attaching itself to the national party, it’s a shame no one can think of political institutions that would help the emergence of a new Californian center-right party

"I think [the gerrymandering war] is really going to require a big national conversation about... what representation means in a democracy.... I think the very best model would be a more proportional House...” In other words, #ProportionalRepresentation! wbur.org/hereandnow/202…

"#ProportionalRepresentation solves the core problem [of gerrymandering]: it makes every vote count. Instead of winner-take-all districts where 49% of voters get zero representation, seats are allocated based on actual vote share." thefulcrum.us/electoral-refo…
