RCV is just a tool for effecting an instant runoff between multiple candidates, but the requirement for the winner to gain majority support from voters is game-changing. It promotes candidates with wider appeal across voters and rewards cooperative behavior in government. Amen!

Some youth feel disillusioned about the election. That doesn't mean we can't reach them.

In a new op-ed for @usnews, our director @CIRCLE_KKG makes the case for leaning in on engaging youth by embracing their diversity and focusing on their top issues. https://t.co/kJDvmzWa4d
