Jane Ruby, President of the @lwvchicago.bsky.social, in @chicagotribune.com: "RCV is [. . .] a transformative reform with the potential to restore faith in the democratic process itself by ensuring that every voice is actually heard and that every ballot is cast for candidates voters believe in."

We’re thrilled to see a claim based on the 28th Amendment. It moves forward what VoteEquality has asserted since the day Virginia ratified in 2020 when our team was still VAratifyERA: The Equal Rights Amendment IS our 28th Amendment. All Article V requirements in the U.S. Constitution have been met.

"How beautiful it is to think of the children of America growing up in a country where equality is not just an ideal but a reality—enshrined and protected in our Constitution." 💚 www.lwvchicago.org/news/era-117... #ERA
