Long time no see! Wanted to let everyone still here know that I'm excited to share a new essay at @FLSdemocracy, about the Supreme Court's failure to recognize the link between vote dilution, political equality, and the proportional allocation of power: https://t.co/VJdeWb3SpF

[Mike on the Mic🏴‍☠️🐉🗡🇺🇸 @mlatner]

@ProfNickStephan Agree with Nick about a one seat standard, if we conceptualize and measure fairness and unfairness by the actual harm caused, vote dilution. I made that argument here: https://t.co/QWj4rbS3VJ
I don’t know how that relates to a 7% EG, but one seat = proportionality standard!

Excellent work on Black political empowerment and electoral system design!

[Iris Acquarone @ietchacq]

We often ask who wins elections. But who decides to run? New @ElectoralStdies w/Hayes: Multi-member districts ⬆️ Black candidate emergence—and political empowerment matters. We revisit assumptions about US electoral design and show who enters the pipeline—not just who wins.

While I’m not convinced that a new fusion “party” could pull enough GOP votes to elect the DEM nominee in 2024, I support this fusion voting effort based on the logic that it can incentivize multiparty coalitions, which we badly need.

[Lee Drutman ⚙️🏛 @leedrutman]

100+ leading democracy scholars make a compelling case for re-legalizing fusion voting.
"We believe that its revival today would reinvigorate our democracy by improving representation and accountability while strengthening voters’ rights…"

Trying to get my brother Medicaid/Disability services in TX, my theory = TX "Health & Human Services" made entirely of no reply emails and an intricate series of phone numbers with circular push button tracing to each other in infinite regress to make you quit. Prove me wrong TX.
