America, I fixed it for you.

[Election Reformers Network @ERN_Reformers]

We’re 80% of the way to unlocking a $35,000 match, and we need your help to close the gap!
At ERN, our team is laser-focused on making sure elections are fair, regardless of who is in power.
Now’s the time to give https://t.co/JETOLYDy5b
Every gift will be doubled until Saturday.

There is no automatic self-correction coming for us. To save our democracy, we must target the engine driving this destructive spiral—the binary party structure itself.

We need more parties. We need better parties. We need a new party system. It's that simple. Full stop.

[Lee Drutman ⚙️🏛 @leedrutman]

Let's work together to enact party list proportional representation and fusion voting so Americans can have more choices, and escape two-party doom loop.

The US presidential election is one of the most consequential events in the world - and also among the most complicated. ERN is trying to change that with 'What Voters Need to Know About Presidential Elections.' https://t.co/fK0KVJqbVE #presidentialelection2024 #voting #elections

Only 3%-5% of eligible voters effectively decided the U.S. House special elections in Rhode Island and Utah yesterday.

In these "safe" districts, the general elections are over before they even begin. Yet another example of the #PrimaryProblem in our politics.

Thanks @KevinJreformers @ERN_Reformers for your leadership on this issue: "...moving state election leadership toward greater impartiality is achievable - and increasingly important."

[Kevin Johnson @KevinJreformers]

"His failings illustrated why, in our polarized era, it’s no longer fair to voters for a partisan politician to oversee elections.".... What's the solution? See policy options from @ERN_Reformers here: https://t.co/05njIHDW39

@ERN_Reformers Nice work @ERN_Reformers - your guide for state legislators to bring state statutes into compliance with the 2022 Electoral Count Reform Act before 2024 can significantly assist in eliminating potentially dangerous gaps and guesswork - well done! #presidentialelection.

[Jim Jonas @jimjonas]

Nice work @ERN_Reformers @KevinJreformers for contributing to this @rconniff commentary: “Though no system is completely apolitical, scholars and good government advocates agree that merit selection is the best option for creating an independent and impartial judiciary…”

[Wisconsin Examiner || @wiexaminer.bsky.social @WIExaminer]

#Wisconsin once had nonpartisan, publicly financed #SupremeCourt elections. Those are long gone, and in her commentary, Editor @rconniff says it's time to turn back the big $$$ politics that have infected our highest court. @ERN_Reformers @wisdc

@Greater_Wichita @IntegraTechInc Huge, game-changing win for Kansas and Wichita! Congratulations to @integratechInc and all in the Kelly Administration, our south central Kansas legislative delegation, and the hardworking eco-devo pros (you know who you are!) who helped make this happen!

@ICTBizShelby reports on huge @DowntownWichita news in the works: "KU Med, WSU look to partner on $302M downtown medical school complex" (paywall) https://t.co/KHQ5huXAa9 via @ICTBizJournal

KU and WSU seeking approval for $300 million medical complex in downtown Wichita; KU would pay for about $146M @ljworld https://t.co/eAJZq4wouE

[Jim Jonas @jimjonas]

Really important work by @ERN_Reformers identifying the (dangerously) significant influence political parties have in certifying elections, and a comparative study of peer democracies that expressly limit role of parties in the process. @KevinJreformers https://t.co/JcRwm7PaH6

[City of Wichita @CityofWichita]

The Council is beginning to evaluate our district boundaries. We want your input on anything you think the City should take into account. This includes specific neighborhoods, socio economic considerations, or more. Learn more and weigh in on Forum:

Miss the fireworks tonight at @Riverfest? I gotcha.

[Lem Moore @LemMoore1]

Please do not come to Andover unless you have too. Emergency services want to focus on the familes in Andover and not have to manage people wanted to drive by to see the damages.

Excellent article by ⁦@mrichtel⁩ in @NYTimes: “…findings imply a deep irony… uncertainty spurs the search for and generation of creative ideas, yet..uncertainty also makes us less able to recognize creativity, perhaps when we need it most.” https://t.co/5CVznROZGM

It's not an accident that 2 of the Republican Senators voting yes are from states with Ranked Choice Voting. Credit to the states of Maine and Alaska
