Everyone is Talking About Reforming Democracy with Ranked-Choice Voting




As more and more journalists, editorial boards, and supporters add their voices to the conversation about how to improve our democracy, we come closer to achieving the goal of adding Ranked-Choice Voting to our election process.

Check out some of the best pieces from this past week:

- Kristin Eberhardt of Sightline advocates for replacing Oregon and Washington's Winner-take-All System to give voice to more voters.

- The Philadelphia Inquirer Editorial Board highlights FairVote's Top Four Primary proposal with Ranked-Choice voting as a way to improve Primary elections.

- Nobel laureates Eric Maskin and Amartya Sen writes about the value of upholding majority rule in Primary elections with a form of Ranked-Choice voting in a New York Times Oped.

- Advocate John E. Palmer writes in support of structural changes to open up our politics to Third Party Voters in the Independent Voter Network.

- Lori Sturdevant writes how Ranked-Choice voting would have impacted the fractured nature of the GOP Primary race in the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

- Michael Golden, author of Unlock Congress, writes about the merits of FairVote’s Fair Representation plan for Congress in Roll Call.

- Scott Sterling advocates for Ranked-Choice voting, also known as Instant-Runoff voting, in Alaska in the Anchorage Press.

Finally, the Fair Representation Proposal for Congress received a good reception at a Congressional briefing on Capitol Hill on April 22nd with Virginia's (D-8th District) Rep. Don Beyer's office.
