Were you happy with the available choices on Election Day? If so, we're happy for you.

But if not, work with us to tear down the two-party system and replace it with a more representative, competitive, and functional multi-party system via #ProportionalRepresentation.

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."

"This week, Eveline sits down with Colin Cole and Heather Villanueva of @EquitableDemo.... They have spent years building the case and the coalitions for proportional representation at the local level."

"A system employing #ProportionalRepresentation could halt gerrymandering — and the damage it does to representative democracy — in its tracks."

"In a single member district..., 51 percent of voters can elect one candidate and the other 49 percent get nothing. ...[In] one broader district that elects four winners... 25 percent... can elect one of the candidates."

"[T]he winner-take-all system... led us down this path of polarized government and we need... a system that... ensures that every vote matters... #ProportionalRepresentation."

Proportional representation has long had the overwhelming support of people whose job is to study elections. We wrote this letter with @protctdemocracy in 2022, signed by 200 political scientists and historians.

How else to fairly represent minorities, whether they be liberals in conservative districts, conservatives in liberal districts, ethnic/religious minorities, etc.?

#ProportionalRepresentation gives everyone fair representation no matter HOW you draw the district lines.

Great discussion on #ProportionalRepresentation between @leedrutman and @ezraklein.

Gerrymandering is a national problem that no state can solve alone.

To end gerrymandering once and for all, we need a national shift toward proportional representation.

[ProRep Coalition @ProRepCoalition]

"[Lee Drutman is] one of the most persistent and thoughtful advocates of selecting House members through #ProportionalRepresentation – a system used in many other countries that would make gerrymandering much more difficult."

[ProRep Coalition @ProRepCoalition]

More and more people are realizing that #ProportionalRepresentation is the answer to #EndGerrymandering.

"A system in which political parties can rewrite the rules to keep themselves in power indefinitely... is not a democracy.... This could be passage of a stronger, revitalized Voting Rights Act... or moving the country toward #ProportionalRepresentation."

"Callais could... bring renewed momentum to the ongoing campaign to steer the House [towards] #ProportionalRepresentation through the use of multimember districts, which would require... repealing an existing federal law against multimember districts."

#ProportionalRepresentation solves gerrymandering. Voters would pick their representatives instead of the other way around.

[Rank the Vote @RankTheVoteUSA]

🧩 Gerrymandering is hurting our democracy. Proportional representation is a solution!

What is we had multi-member districts with fair representation? Imagine is we could make gerrymandering essentially pointless. No more drawing lines to pick your voters. Voters pick their representatives.

🗨️ How would fair representation impact your local or state government? 👇

Here's how Californians could vote if we had a six-party system via #ProportionalRepresentation via @sfchronicle.

[ProRep Coalition @ProRepCoalition]

In other words, here's how Californians could vote if we had a six-party system! Great tool here from @sfchronicle

[San Francisco Chronicle @sfchronicle]

Californians aren’t just blue or red. Here are the state’s six distinct voting clusters and what they say about the governor’s race. https://t.co/hrPriWAxVq

[ProRep Coalition @ProRepCoalition]

Gerrymandering means converting a few 90% wins into a lot of 60% wins, because they are the same under winner-take-all.

#ProportionalRepresentation means 60% wins fewer seats than 90%.

You do the math.

[Tony Paul @nae2049989]

@prideandfury The US needs to have proportional representation only. It can help remove the impact of gerrymandering.

[ProRep Coalition @ProRepCoalition]

And remember that minority voters includes Republicans in blue states, like here in California.

#ProportionalRepresentation

[Lee Drutman ⚙️🏛 @leedrutman]

We need a solution that does not rely on the Court.
The answer is proportional representation. Proportional representation enables equal representation to minority voters as a structural feature, not as a litigated favor any future court can take away.

[ProRep Coalition @ProRepCoalition]

"#ProportionalRepresentation would effectively neuter any attempt to gerrymander.... Drawing members of one party into unfavorable districts would no longer deny them a voice – they would still win seats in proportion to their share of the vote."

“Retaliatory gerrymanders that level the playing field for 2026 won’t last... A baseline set of reforms would include a House based on #ProportionalRepresentation...”

[ProRep Coalition @ProRepCoalition]

Fun fact, we can keep our presidential system of checks and balances and still use #ProportionalRepresentation. No need for a parliamentary system with a governing coalition (nor the amendment that would require).

[Dustin Wahl @_DustinWahl]

Fun fact: the political scientist who popularized this idea that proportional representation can't work with the US presidential system has since changed his mind. Now says it's the best system for America. https://t.co/d4UORn3LKK
