Finally, scroll through this Twitter account's history for a lot of good stuff. I posted a lot of really useful factoids and stats over the years, and I still find myself referring to it sometimes.

OSR was funded by @fairvote, where I previously worked for eight years. In many ways, OSR is an aggregation of all the stuff I learned and created while there.

I (Drew) the lead author of OSR and guy who ran this account, now work for @protctdemocracy, where I am still making the case for proportional representation. See my interview with them about OSR: x.com/protctdemocrac…

Our reps are essentially chosen for us when district lines are drawn, but they don’t have to be. A new series of essays by lead author Drew Penrose explores how proportional representation could restore choice, competition, & representation to democracy. ifyoucankeepit.org/p/why-district…

"reforms that make voting easier are an important piece to the low turnout puzzle, but they’re not sufficient to drive participation. People also need to want to vote in the first place."

NEW: Our current electoral system creates an environment for political apathy to fester, but upgrading it with proportional representation can put us on a better path for all voters to finally feel connected to their government, @hill_charlotte argues. democracydocket.com/opinion/lets-s…

We have a big supply of misinformation in the U.S. because we have a big demand for it -- thanks in part to the us-vs-them nature of our broken electoral system.
Check out this important new report from @AaronTiedemann and @PolReformNA.

No matter how you slice it, winner-take-all prevents democratic outcomes. Let's advocate for electoral reforms like rank choice voting to ensure equitable representation that goes beyond tokenism.

I share Rob's optimism, in no small part thanks to his tireless efforts to push the ball forward on critical democracy reforms through times when everyone else said they were impossible.

@UncapTheHouse Counterpoint: lots more states should have only one /district/. But each district should elect multiple members proportionally.
English
Alaska should have more than one district.
Delaware should have more than one district.
North Dakota should have more than one district.
South Dakota should have more than one district.
Vermont should have more than one district.
Wyoming should have more than one district.
English
@UncapTheHouse I was curious, and so in case others are:
To get to all states having 2+ seats, you'd need 811 total seats.
To get to all states having 3+ seats, you'd need 1,405.
Both figures use 2020 census totals and assume we still use the Method of Equal Proportions for apportionment.

What is proportional representation, and how could it strengthen our democracy? What's the policy path to reform?

If you'll forgive me for sticking my oar in, I'd say you need to place your faith in yourself.
The question is whether we can all organize to make the democracy we want.
There are always those who resist change. The only way to overcome it is through organization.

After severe blowback, the councilmembers have backed off. Portland is full steam ahead for implementing proportional RCV in its next city elections. oregonlive.com/news/2023/07/p…

Some councilmembers in Portland have been trying to mess with the charter reform that passed last year. Portland voters will not stand for it.

Voters do not like it when they pass things directly and then politicians try to undermine them.

Great organizing today by @charter_reform to uphold will of voters in Portland (OR). This article shows that the city councilors proposing to rush to the ballot measures without almost any community dialogue is a lot less likely after today's hearing. wweek.com/news/city/2023…
