Congressman Jamie Raskin (MD-08) and Congressman Don Beyer (VA-08) renewed their efforts to bring ranked choice voting to U.S. congressional elections, reintroducing their *Ranked Choice Voting Act *. Senator Peter Welch (D-VT) is introducing companion legislation in the Senate.
The legislation would require ranked choice voting (RCV) in all congressional primary and general elections starting in 2028, allowing voters to express support for multiple candidates for public office, with the candidate receiving the most votes declared the winner.
This would be an unprecedented win for democracy in America, but it needs an outcry of public support to have any chance.
Look up your congressional reps here: https://www.270towin.com/elected-officials/ and contact them to urge their support.
Remember, we’re not outnumbered, we’re out organized.
I actually think this is one issue that is okay to be a single issue voter on, because once it’s achieved then all voting afterwards will be fairer.
i mean, i would disagree, but i see what you’re pushing for here.
This is an issue that exceeds the importance of almost all other issues, aside from like, the immediate danger that electing trump would have.
you should still vote, but push really hard for voting reform, shit’s important.
Yeah exactly, I was being a bit hyperbolic there but I do think this is a unifying issue for pretty much anyone from any party.
Funny enough the other thing that really gets people under 50 going is talking about high speed rail done well and effectively here as public transportation. Something conservative men really like about trains lol, I’ll take it
