Democracy To Do List

[Stephanie Houghton @WomanOfField]

If 4 candidates hit the threshold, only 3 can get in.

So voters are structurally incentivized to vote strategically — not honestly.

Sound familiar?

[Stephanie Houghton @WomanOfField]

The NFL Hall of Fame uses approval voting + quotas.

It looks democratic. It isn’t neutral.

The rules decide the outcome.

That’s true in sports — and in elections.

Literally the nickname for the USPS is snail mail. Why are they now in charge of something with strict deadlines!?

As of December 24, 2025

[Zohran Kwame Mamdani @ZohranKMamdani]

Congratulations to Seattle’s Mayor-elect @wilsonformayor!

Seattle voters made their voices heard: they want a new kind of politics — one that rejects corporate PAC money and delivers for working people. From one Mayor-elect to another, wishing you the best. Seattle is in great hands.

FYI. In case you have not driven thru Orleans this week.

You have a town meeting on Monday.

If you feel like maybe it’s time to make some big changes with measurable results then go ahead and subscribe to the Democracy To Do List. Latest drop today: https://t.co/dwXg5sU8B2

[Stephanie Houghton @WomanOfField]

As usual - if you feel like your elected officials are doing super well and you can easily hold them accountable then the Democracy To Do List is not for you.

[Stephanie Houghton @WomanOfField]

If you feel like maybe some tweaks would be good, give this post a read.

It takes a minute to count the votes. Accuracy and expanded turnout is worth the wait.

[Melissa Santos @MelissaSantos1]

Katie Wilson now leads Bruce Harrell by 91 votes in the race for Seattle mayor. That's out of 267,875 ballots counted so far, or a lead of less than 0.05 percentage points. https://t.co/q7lDZNg9Kd

Notebooks of ideas.

Binders of women.

They really do just copy paste their half-baked talking points.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Mike Johnson on the Republican healthcare plan: "We've got notebooks full of ideas."

[Stephanie Houghton @WomanOfField]

Mad at Democrats over healthcare? Same.

But we can’t fix this by just finding “better” Democrats.

We fix it by changing how we elect our representatives.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Republicans in Congress extended tax breaks for billionaire corporations, but they refused to extend tax credits to lower health costs for working people.

While Trump and Republicans inflict pain on people, Democrats’ most important job is to fight back.

This deal is a mistake.

[Stephanie Houghton @WomanOfField]

accuracy > speed

And we (Washingtonians) accept it because we love voting by mail.

Let’s talk about what makes the difference.
