I'm thrilled that the Make All Votes Count Act of 2024 has been deemed 'proper subject matter' by the @Vote4DC. I appreciate everyone who testified in the hearing earlier this week, both pro and con. This is how democracy works. Now ... let's get to work on the next phase.
Voting-reform activists want to bring ranked choice voting and open primaries to D.C., and they recently cleared a major hurdle in the quest to do so. https://t.co/VhMVHmegXD
Quick update to this story: The D.C. Board of Elections will hold another meeting on Friday at 2 p.m. on whether a ballot initiative on ranked choice voting and open primaries could actually be placed on the ballot. They could announce a decision then. https://t.co/xug08ZYhti
When explaining RCV, either u use a good visual like this, OR just explain it from the VOTER PERSPECTIVE: "Vote for your favorite and rank your backup choices. If your first choice is in last place, your vote moves to your next choice. A candidates wins when they get >50%."

Ran into some friends while door knocking in support of Initiative 82 to raise the subminimum wage for tipped workers. We had a great time in the Great Ward 8.
And that’s a wrap!! We had incredible turnout for our last Initiative 82 canvass before Election Day and spent the day talking with our neighbors in Ward 8.
Thank you to every volunteer who came out this cycle and helped us knock more than *18,000* doors 🚪 🌹🤩 Vote YES on 82!
With two days left to go, a total of 94,944 ballots have been received by @Vote4DC! This marks ~38-41% of likely voters already having voted ahead of Election Day. #DCision22
Hey @VoteNo82, defacing our campaigns property is a campaign violation! Are you guys responsible for putting these stickers on our signs? If yes, cease and desist.
@RepKatiePorter I’m the owner of a restaurant chain that pays on average $16/hr. min wages. We’ve opened three new locations this year and have received well over 100 applications for each.
There is no labor shortage, there's a wage shortage.
There is an over supply of corporate greed.
