Florida Republicans thought they were so clever to ban ranked choice voting. Happy now?

I love watching the #Oscars 🍿because the @TheAcademy uses 3 of my favorite things: #GenderCategories to ensure women are nominated & win acting awards, #RankedChoiceVoting for nominations, & proportional #RCV aka #ProportionalRankedChoiceVoting for #BestPicture 🎥📽️🎞️

Our choose-one elections reward politicians who only listen to a narrow base & engage in toxic politics.
88% of voters say politics is broken. Members of Congress are frustrated too, quitting en masse.
#RankedChoiceVoting & #ProportionalRepresentation can flip the incentives.
FairVote@fairvote
A record number of members of Congress are quitting. Why? Because it's not just voters who are fed up w/ gridlock and toxic politics. FairVote CEO @MeredithSumpter explains how ranked choice voting can make Congress work better for all of us. ⬇️

Expanding ranked choice voting in Maine "is easy. The method already works smoothly in Maine’s primaries & congressional elections. All that’s required is political will."

Very helpful @fairvote explainer on voting rights settlement in the Town of Newburgh (NY) to start using the proportional form of ranked choice voting in elections starting in 2027. fairvote.org/newburgh-ny-ad…

@Rob_Richie @ExpandDemocracy The percentage of women winning in jurisdictions with #RankedChoiceVoting has increased to 55% — there are roughly 425,000 offices that are single winner & nonpartisan in the U.S. — RCV is the viable, scalable & transformative reform for elections for these offices.

There are exciting levels of greater interest and funding for proportional representation. My hope is that we have a "big tent" reform approach & keep learning. Here's our latest @ExpandDemocracy newsletter with my thoughts. expanddem.substack.com/p/making-parti…

Agree with @Rob_Richie on his call for a big tent approach to electoral reform that is grounded in data & viability — the stakes are too high to be undermining proven strategies and seeding division.

This is a big step for ranked choice voting in our nation’s second-largest city.
In a city as diverse as Los Angeles, #RankedChoiceVoting is well-suited to make sure every community has a real voice.
Huge thanks to @CalRCV & @equitabledemo for their leadership in LA!
FairVote@fairvote
The Los Angeles Charter Review Commission included ranked choice voting in its recommendations for improving municipal elections. #RankedChoiceVoting would increase representation and eliminate the need for costly, two-round elections. 👀 @CalRCV fairvote.org/los-angeles-mo…

Illinois, what would your primary ballot look like with #RankedChoiceVoting?
With ten candidates running in the Democratic Primary, the winner will likely not receive a 50% majority. In fact, the nominee could win with 30% of the vote or less.

88% of Americans say politics is broken. And as former Transportation Secretary @PeteButtigieg told @reason, it's been that way for years. He shares why we can’t "just go back to the way things were," and how reforms like ranked choice voting can make our democracy work for all.

Former Transportation Secretary @PeteButtigieg on why we need election reforms like ranked choice voting, multi-member districts, or open primaries:
“If our social, economic, and political systems were healthy… I don't think we'd be here in the first place.” #RankedChoiceVoting
