"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."

"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."

There’s a lot of talk about California’s top-two primary.

#RankedChoiceVoting would make the system even stronger.

Thanks to @CalRCV's Marcela Miranda-Prieto for writing this w/ me.

Great analysis from @NickTroiano & @uniteamerica.

Thanks to gerrymandering, 92% of 2026 House races are decided long before November, according to @CookPolitical.

Multi-member districts & proportional representation would end gerrymandering for good. #ProportionalRepresentation

The Florida state legislature will consider a new congressional map this week. It’s the latest front in a gerrymandering war between red & blue states.

We could end gerrymandering for good w/ a national shift to proportional representation.

On Tuesday, Virginians will decide whether to suspend fair redistricting rules to let the legislature draw a new congressional map.

ICYMI: Better Ballot Sacramento is working to bring ranked choice voting to local elections.

If their proposal is approved by voters, Sacramento would combine its low-turnout primary & general election.

That will give tens of thousands more voters a say.

Polls suggest 2 Republicans and 0 Dems may advance from deep-blue California’s “top-two” primary for governor.

If California used ranked choice voting, voters would get more choices & more representative results. 👀 @CalRCV

The @latimes stops to ask 'What if California's governor's race didn't have to be a vote-splitting nightmare?'

With 10+ candidates crowding the 2026 primary, the answer is right there: Ranked Choice Voting!

Attn: Los Angeles! ⚠️ Mar 17th 📅 We need YOU 💜 Come give comments to the LA Charter Reform Commission! We've had major success getting single-winner RCV taken up by LA City Council, but the BIG change we really want to see is PROPORTIONAL RCV !!

The Los Angeles Charter Review Commission included ranked choice voting in its recommendations for improving municipal elections.

#RankedChoiceVoting would increase representation and eliminate the need for costly, two-round elections. 👀 @CalRCV

Santa Clara County, CA taxpayers paid an estimated $13 million for a Dec. 30 runoff election. Just 20% of eligible voters participated.

Ranked choice voting makes runoffs unnecessary; voters pick majority winners in a single, high-turnout election ➡️ @CalRCV #RankedChoiceVoting

[Meredith Sumpter @MeredithSumpter]

Turnout in runoffs typically drops about 40% – even when not in the middle of the holidays.

But Santa Clara County voters are being asked to vote in a Dec 30 runoff.

Great op-ed from @CalRCV's Tom Charron on how #RankedChoiceVoting delivers a majority winner without runoffs. ⬇️
