Our elected leaders need to compete for our votes. Today they are accountable only to the Party and the oligarchs funding the parties.

In Alaska, "candidates need majority support to win – not just a narrow base. That empowers voters, not one party or another. With RCV & open primaries, Alaskans elected a cross-partisan legislature that actually gets things done." – FairVote CEO Meredith Sumpter in @newsweek.com

This Congress was the least productive in recent history. Nearly 9 in 10 Americans feel our politics doesn’t work for them. Can ranked choice voting improve government? Yes. RCV pushes lawmakers to work together & deliver results for all voters – not just their partisan base. #RankedChoiceVoting

My Op Ed on the need to keep SC primaries open got posted today in the Post & Courier This is a nonpartisan issue, it is a pro democracy, pro Constitution stance www.postandcourier.com/opinion/comm...

South Carolina, a new legislative session comes in January, let your representatives know you are tired of the choosing between the lesser of two evils.

Wouldn't it be great if the rest of the White House press corps walked out in solidarity, like the opening acts of the Ed Sheeran tour Wouldn't it be great if the White House press corps just ignored Dumb Donald

"If I’m a smart politician, I don’t trash talk everybody b/c I might want your folks to rank me number two, and that’s going to help me. So I think it encourages more civility in the process." – U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski on how ranked choice voting improves elections in Alaska

🤔things that make you go hmmm. House Republicans what is that monstrosity Trump built on our SW Border?🤔 Yes, the Trump lead GOP is a totalitarian regime

"Given that 69% of U.S. adults say they’re unsatisfied with how democracy is working in the country, it’s no wonder Americans around the country are hungry for reforms to our elections." Check out the list today: fairvoteaction.org/which-states... #FairRepresentation #MoreVoiceMoreChoice

South Carolina's duopoly rigs elections by making it 10,000 signatures and $141,900+ for independents to get on the ballot. Parties skip this step. Some independents are now aiming for write-in status, but without ballot access, obscurity is likely. #politics #electionintegrity

The man that bankrupted casinos is promising something he can't deliver. That being said: Trump believes he can "fool all of the people all of the time." He's smarter than everyone else.

I'm watching the Dodgers & Reds & Mookie Betts drew a walk & the stadium organ player played "Walked Like an Egyptian." In Banana Ball Mookie would have walked like an Egyptian down to first base.

I'm no Constitutional lawyer or even Constitutional Historian & didn't stay at the Holiday Inn last night but I swear I read somewhere in the Constitution the government is supposed to "promote the general Welfare," & the 9th A says we have more rights than enumerated in the Constitution.

Two candidates named Dan Sullivan will appear on the ballot in Alaska’s U.S. Senate race. Alaska's use of ranked choice voting lets voters rank both candidates, knowing their vote will count for the stronger of the two. Learn how RCV mitigates the "spoiler" problem ⬇️

Military Veterans that have changed residency upon PCSing, ETSing, or Retiring are especially vulnerable to voter roll scrubs given that you may still be registered in your previous state and dual registration can cause a suspension of your voting rights. Check your voter registration now.

I hope it’s clear to everyone who cares about the survival of our democracy that we need massive turnout and landslide margins to counteract the lies and cries of fraud that are coming after the midterm vote.

Once again we're choosing between the lesser of two evils If the SCGOP had used IRV for their primaries, the runoff for Gov and now Senate would not have been necessary Just think how much money their candidates would have saved for campaigning in general election

The DNC overwhelmingly rejected the ban on #RankedChoiceVoting! Now states that want to use it can. Curious how it works in the Democratic Presidential primary in other states? Read for more:⬇️

In this week's Dem primary for Wisconsin governor, 68k votes went to candidates who withdrew after early voting began. Instead of going to active candidates like frontrunners David Crowley & Francesca Hong, these "zombie" votes were wasted. The solution? Ranked choice voting. #RankedChoiceVoting

“If you don’t like politics as you see it today, this changes the incentives.” Curious about the differences between using #RankedChoiceVoting instead of our traditional systems? #BridgeBuilderNotBridgeBurners #MoreChoiceMoreVoice #InstantRunoffVoting #FairRepresentation

In Michigan's primaries last week, tens of thousands of votes went to candidates who already dropped out. The same will happen in Wisconsin's primary for governor. "Zombie votes" are a widespread problem, leaving many voters without a say. Ranked choice voting can solve this problem.

Easy, gerrymandered Congressional districts.
