The NAACP is condemning the U.S. Supreme Court's latest decision allowing Alabama to use a congressional map previously found to be intentionally discriminatory against Black voters, warning that the ruling marks another dangerous step in the dismantling of voting rights in the state and across the country.

The Court's action follows its most recent decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which has triggered racial gerrymandering efforts across the South.

"Multi-member districts based on ranked choice voting can help voters get the fair districting & fair representation they deserve in Washington."

– @Cornell's David B. Shmoys in @sfchronicle on ending gerrymandering w/ proportional representation https://t.co/GycS61SDsT

With proportional representation & multi-member districts, "all voters can affect elections by affecting their party’s representation.

These reforms also reduce polarization, restrain gerrymandering, & boost competition."

"Ranked choice voting is a better alternative to runoffs.

It feels we're more polarized than ever on politics. But something most Georgians can agree on: we all have voter fatigue, & we’re sick of the ads."

Ranked choice voting will be used in primaries this month in Maine & DC.

In other states, crowded primaries or primary runoffs will deliver unrepresentative results – problems that would be solved w/ RCV.

In recent Washington State elections, so many Dems ran in the top-two primary that vote-splitting locked the party out in November – despite most voters favoring Dems.

The fix? Add ranked choice voting.

Instead of repealing its top-two primaries, “California should continue its history of pro-voter reform and build on the top-two system – by adding ranked choice voting to its elections.”

DC Voters deserve to feel informed, confident, and prepared when they get to the ballot box. An informed voter is a powerful voter.

We're looking for volunteers to help educate communities across the city about ranked choice voting ahead of the June 16, 2026 primary.

As a volunteer, you may help with community outreach, trainings, events, tabling, and sharing clear, accessible information about how ranked choice voting works.

No prior experience is needed. Just bring your energy, your commitment to DC, and your desire to help keep our communities engaged and informed.

Sign up to volunteer at the link in our bio or at https://t.co/rsIlFjkLFp.

➡️@henryolsenEPPC is absolutely right.

Bringing multi-member districts and proportional representation to Congress would end gerrymandering once and for all.

"San Jose is facing a shortfall of over $50 million that could force the city to cut spending on vital services. But it may have to spend millions on runoff elections.

It’s a cost that could be avoided w/ ranked choice voting."

Learn more about what happened in Texas yesterday, and how #RankedChoiceVoting is a better, faster, and cheaper alternative to runoffs. ⬇️

Here's what happened in yesterday's Texas primary runoffs:

🔻Turnout dropped as much as 82%
🔻Turnout in the Senate GOP primary dropped from 2.2 million voters to 1.4 million
💰Runoffs cost Texas taxpayers an estimated $23 million

Ranked choice voting makes runoffs unnecessary.
