Elected officials shouldn't just represent their base. They should represent the whole electorate. Unfortunately, in most systems the only voters with any leverage are the ones who voted for the winner. Voters who prefer others have no power. STAR Voting changes that. How you might ask? 🧵 1/3

Each election we watch the rise and fall of 3rd parties seeking to offer viable alternatives to the duopoly. Every cycle they fail to break through. Two party domination isn't caused by a lack of viable 3rd parties or candidates. It's caused by our outdated voting method. 1/6 🧵

Ranked Choice Voting has polarized the voting reform movement for years and it's not over. As another wave of repeal and ban bills gear up, let's look back on the concerns raised that led RCV to be rejected in every state where it was on the ballot in 2024. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a6b...

Politics doesn't have to be so polarizing. We can do better! With STAR Voting voters can vote their conscience, scoring their candidates from 0-5 stars. The two highest scoring candidates are finalists and the finalist preferred by more voters wins. youtu.be/fKg0fRL88zc

RCV advocates. Please read this incredibly courageous post and call to action.

For years the election science community and the reform advocacy community have been siloed from each other, often working at cross purposes. In the Equal Vote Symposium's first panel of the event we tackled just that. youtu.be/_IyrJ4HJh6M

"Problems worthy of attack prove their worth by fighting back." - Paul Erdos

Are closed party primaries essential or should they be opened to all? Should they be skipped all together or does it depend? In the Equal Vote Symposium's second panel of the event we tackled just that. youtu.be/5b97MC6105I
