This week, we’ve seen Democrats & Republicans in 4 states launch new efforts to gerrymander their U.S. House maps: ➡️Ohio ➡️Virginia ➡️Indiana ➡️Maryland #ProportionalRepresentation w/ multi-member districts would end the gerrymandering wars ⬇️ https://t.co/rSKWGzjJI7

The Fair Representation Act would improve redistricting by implementing multi-member districts and ranked choice voting for the U.S. House.
NEW: Ohio Democrats seem poised to accept a Republican proposal that redraws the state’s congressional districts in a way that could hand the GOP two more House seats before 2026. But the proposal could be Democrats’ best shot at avoiding a one-sided map.

The cost of living keeps rising. Our nation is grappling w/ political violence. Our gov’t can’t keep the lights on. But we can push lawmakers to lower the temperature & work together for all of us. How? #RankedChoiceVoting & #ProportionalRepresentation.
Between government shutdowns & extreme polarization, our politics isn't working. #RankedChoiceVoting & #ProportionalRepresentation can push lawmakers to work together for all voters, healing our toxic politics. More from @MeredithSumpter in @fulcrum_us⬇️ https://t.co/vG3GdCglzB

Great piece from @StevenHill1776 of DemocracySOS: Gerrymandering wars are "at the core of what has been hurtling the US to partisan conflict. We need new tools in the democratic toolbox, w/ proportional #RankedChoiceVoting at the top of the list." More⬇️ https://t.co/3owxVDhzwI

A reminder that #RankedChoiceVoting is a truly party-neutral tool from Republican NYC Councilmember @frankmorano. With a crowded field, NYC's next mayor could be elected w/ less than 50%. RCV ensures majority winners while giving voters more choice & more say.
New York’s mayoral race is chaos — dropouts, backroom deals, and a socialist frontrunner with under 50%. If voters could rank their choices in November, none of this would be happening. My latest for @NEWSMAX on why conservatives should back RCV:

Today, the Supreme Court will consider the future of the Voting Rights Act in Louisiana v. Callais. The VRA has helped our country live up to its founding ideals for six decades. This is about fair representation. We should fully restore the VRA.

When voters feel they have no real voice in Congress, they lose faith in elections as a tool for change. #ProportionalRepresentation can repair our democracy by giving every voter greater voice. More from @americanacad ⬇️
Our politics is as dysfunctional as ever. Voters want change, but our elections leave tens of millions without real choices on their ballot or a voice in our democracy. @americanacad's new report shows how #ProportionalRepresentation can change that. Read full report below🧵

👀 @Sen_JoeManchin is right. Voters, parties, and elected officials alike should embrace reforms like #RankedChoiceVoting and open primaries. RCV gives voters more choice & pushes politicians to work for all of us. https://t.co/2R5fYiZUDt

Check out new @FairVote graphics on the power of #ProportionalRepresentation. Tens of millions of Americans have no real voice in Congress b/c they’re not the “winners” of a winner-take-all election. PR would give all voters a voice & break Congress free from gerrymandering.
Thanks to our winner-take-all elections, tens of millions of Americans have no voice in Congress. With #ProportionalRepresentation, every voter would have a real voice and we could make Congress work for all of us. Learn more about proportional representation 👇
