➡️ @Gallup finds a record-high 45% of Americans identify as independents. As pollster @KSoltisAnderson points out in @nytopinion: It's not about ideology, voters are fed up w/ toxic politics. #RankedChoiceVoting pushes politicians to work for all voters, not just a party base.
Good read frm @KSoltisAnderson abt what "independent" means/doesn't mean. (spoiler alert: some are to the left of Democrats, some are to the right of Republicans and some are truly middle) (extra spoil: independent and moderate don't mean same thing) https://t.co/h3Jnp1S1T8

A lot of choices should be a good thing. But in choose-one elections like the #NY12 Dem primary, a crowded field means the race could be won w/ just 15% of the vote. The solution? Ranked choice voting. @davedaley3 explains in @salon. #RankedChoiceVoting

Ranked choice voting would help Democrats choose the strongest candidate in the NY-12 primary

In 2026, primaries nationwide will be crowded w/ candidates. In choose-one elections, that means more vote-splitting & winners without majority support. #RankedChoiceVoting is a simple solution. Learn more⬇️ https://t.co/gFhbzETGkL

The 2026 midterms are a year away, and crowded primaries are emerging in races at every level of government.

➡️ @RepRaskin, @RepDonBeyer, & @SenPeterWelch get to the heart of how to fix our politics. w/ #RankedChoiceVoting, politicians need support from a majority of voters to win, not just a narrow base. That pushes them to reach out to all voters w/ positive issue-focused campaigns.
Choose-one elections reward candidates who attack each other & only reach out to their base. #RankedChoiceVoting flips these incentives & makes politics less toxic. @RepRaskin, @RepDonBeyer, & @SenPeterWelch share why we need to bring RCV to Congress w/ the RCV Act ⬇️ #RCVAct

With winner-take-all elections, only the largest group of voters gets representation. Everyone else gets nothing. Proportional representation ends winner-take-all and ensures all voters have a voice. Learn about the types of #ProportionalRepresentation⬇️ https://t.co/kNc4uUqm0s

This page discusses three major proportional representation systems – proportional ranked choice voting, party list PR, and mixed-member PR.
