Why will control of the 435-member U.S. House depend on just a handful of 2026 midterm races?

Because 81% of this year's House elections are so "safe," they’ve already been decided.

In Alaska, "candidates need majority support to win – not just a narrow base. That empowers voters, not one party or another. With RCV & open primaries, Alaskans elected a cross-partisan legislature that actually gets things done."

Americans want more choice in their elections. Ranked choice voting delivers it, without the political games.

With RCV, voters don’t need to worry about “spoilers” or picking the lesser of two evils.

If your 1st choice can’t win, your vote simply counts for your next choice.

[FairVote @fairvote]

Every cycle, Democrats and Republicans boost 3rd-party candidates to siphon votes from their opponents.

It’s a bipartisan game – that voters don’t have to play w/ ranked choice voting.

And nationwide, majorities of both Democrats and Republicans support Ranked Choice Voting!

These findings from the University of Maryland's Program for Public Consultation highlight an area of agreement that crosses traditional party lines.

More Voice. More Choice.
