Over three-fourths of Americans think there should be a maximum age limit for elected officials, according to a CBS News/YouGov survey.
Term limits, no gerrymandering, ranked choice voting, and more than two political parties.
I think no gerrymandering would absolutely nuke the red presence. Honestly looking at how bad the district maps are it’s insane it’s even gotten that far.
The only way to eliminate gerrymandering is to eliminate geographically-defined congressional districts.
I think we should empanel our congressional delegation in statewide elections. I also think we shouldn’t have 435 votes in the house. I think we should have one vote for each person in the country. I think each representative should cast one vote for each actual person they represent.
Term limits, no gerrymandering, ranked choice voting, and more than two political parties.
We already have more than two parties, its just almost nobody votes for them. With rank choice voting they’ll be more visible than they are today.
The problem with no gerrymandering is that it’s actively hard to enforce without false positives
Everything is hard if you’re trying to do it right, especially large scale. Babies with crayons draw better maps than what happened/is happening in Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, etc.
Oh yeah no there does absolutely need to be a criminal threshold and Ohio and Florida are past it. At the bare minimum it needs to cost you your seat if you pull the shit ohio keeps pulling.
As an Ohioan at no point has my vote for representatives ever mattered even when it should. It’s not like nyc or something, fucking Cincinnati shouldn’t be 3 red seats.
