4 years ago today I made a Facebook post that changed my life forever- thank you everyone else who wanted to hop in and make the world a better place #VotersNotPoliticians

My Salon exclusive: The secret, insider documents that reveal the GOP's plan to gerrymander the nation salon.com/2018/02/06/how…

Missouri friends the attacks to your ballot initiative process need to come to an end it's time the legislature learns to @RespectVoters . This campaign is ran by amazing volunteers and it would be great to have you join too!

Millions of Americans desperately want a government that works for all of us. But our current election system locks them out of representation. @KTeaFahey of @ThePeopleOrg explained how #RankedChoiceVoting can change that at the @RepresentWomen Democracy Solutions Summit.

Gov. Grisham just signed our bill & open primaries is now the law of the land in New Mexico! Fantastic leadership from Bob Perls & Sila Avcil! 10 years of hard work! Congrats to the entire team @NMOpenElections & New Mexico Voters First. @uniteamerica @LetUsVoteUSA

@justinamash Yessss

Partisanship makes people really stupid.

Mr. President, Ukraine did not “start” this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth.🇺🇸🇺🇦 “Russia Invades Ukraine in Largest European Attack Since WWII” @FoxNews (February 24, 2022) foxnews.com/world/russian-…

.@KTeaFahey & @RankMIVote: "The solution to the “spoiler problem” is not to attack independent and third-party candidates, shame their supporters or use the courts to limit voters’ choices." It's fixing our broken elections and giving every voter a true voice.

Republicans use ranked-choice voting to elect their leader (not technically RCV, but sequential rounds of voting in which bottom candidate is eliminated -- essentially a form of RCV). Why? Because they want a leader who comes closest to being the true preference of a majority of the caucus, rather than the favorite of a faction of the party. A plurality-winner rule could empower a factional leader. @Nedfoley @LarryDiamond

@Alec_Turtles About two years 2016- to the 2018 ballot. Midterm elections would probably be a good one to aim for.

@KTeaFahey hi katie, i'm curious how long it took you from inception to passage for Michigan's citizen led redistricting amendment. I'm very curious about attempting something again in Ohio for 2025 and am curious if it's possible.

@shough195 @uniteamerica @NickTroiano Hearts and minds - we have to invest in grassroots- it's a lot harder to sway a voter with ad when they've talked to their neighbors and friends about the issue

@uniteamerica @NickTroiano Now we know what it's like to lose the Super Bowl in a blowout. 😪 Nevada was a heartbreaker, and the repeal in Alaska could be worse. I don't know where we go from here nationally, but we have an active campaign to at least close the write-in loophole in Florida. 🤞

“The folks who are saying this [ranked-choice voting] system is confusing and complicated are not the voters,” @NickTroiano said. “It’s the special interests trying to maintain the status quo. The core of their assertion is voters are not smart enough to rank their candidates.” Special interests fought reform and spread misinformation across all states about open primaries and ranked choice voting. wapo.st/3YI643F

@AndrewYang I'm worried that sentiment will now be applied to any women candidates running for president.

Losing to Trump twice in 8 years, this time decisively, is the kind of thing you don’t come back from.

@ketch I hope a lot of posts get made to change the world in the next couple of days ❤️

You can be angry and channel that anger into alienating tweets, or you can channel it into work. Be like @KTeaFahey in 2016. Get to work. bridgemi.com/michigan-gover…

Question 1, which asked about placing limits on donations to political action committees that independently spend money to try to support or defeat candidates, won in a landslide with the AP calling it with the support of almost three-quarters of Maine voters.

@ProfNickStephan Looks like attacks on the initiative process in ND failed

Of the major democracy-related initiatives (not including AK & NV, where votes aren't in yet), only Maine's limit on Super PAC donations looks to be passing now. RCV is going down in AZ, CO, and ID, and redistricting reform failed in OH.

Very Midwest

@SamJMar @walterolson @CatoInstitute @VoteYESon3NV @No_On2AK @OpenPrimariesID @MTElectReform @voters1stco @OpenPrimariesAZ Also vote NO to Stop politicians trying to limit the citizens right to petition in ND- NO on 2 and AZ - NO on 134 &136

@walterolson from @CatoInstitute makes the case for Final Four and Final Five Voting. Voters in AK, NV, CO, ID, MT, & AZ will be voting on these reforms tomorrow. cato.org/blog/primary-r… @VoteYESon3NV, @No_On2AK, @OpenPrimariesID, @MTElectReform, @voters1stco, @OpenPrimariesAZ

Nearly 14,000 mail-in ballots have signature issues in Nevada kunr.org/local-stories/…

Only a small number of congressional races are considered toss-ups going into November. Most are in districts drawn by independent commissions or courts. #MsReads via @BrennanCenter brennancenter.org/our-work/analy…

"We have to tell them over and over again, 'Voter suppression's fake. Voter fraud is fake. It's used to raise money and get you angry,'" says Gabriel Sterling, Georgia’s chief operating officer for the secretary of state. cbsn.ws/4hv2cLU
