.Rep. Don Beyer and Rep. Jamie Raskin reintroduced the Fair Representation Act this week! #ProportionalRepresentation is the single most important change we can make to our broken political system. fairvote.org/press/fair-rep…

Political Reform (@polreformna) 's Twitter Profile Photo

The U.S. struggles to act on major issues, even with broad public support, because of structural barriers in the American political system. A two-party, winner-take-all model makes compromise rare and gridlock common. Proportional representation could offer a way forward.

The best and fairest path forward on redistricting - still - is banning gerrymandering nationwide, once and for all. I reintroduced the Fair Representation Act with Rep. Jamie Raskin and others, to make that dream a reality. beyer.house.gov/news/documents…

Tens of millions on a never-ending arms race to nowhere? Or a fair, representative, national solution? We need #ProportionalRepresentation for Congress

Nearly 60% of Americans want a third major party in politics. But right now, new political parties like Elon Musk's are seen as little more than “spoilers.” We need #RankedChoiceVoting to give voters more choices on their ballots.

What a shame that the amendment @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social just offered to implement the semi-open primaries component of Initiative 83 did not pass. 73% of voters made their will known. Shame on those who voted no! #letindependentsvote #YESon83

District voters will finally be able to utilize ranked-choice voting, beginning with the June 16, 2026 primary election! This is a BFD - voters will now be able to rank up to 5 candidates in virtually every race with 3+ candidates, from President down to ANC commissioner!

Between Texas firing the first salvo in the 2025 gerrymandering wars (that will net Rs 9 seats) & the Supreme Court telegraphing its plans to strike down Section 2 of the VRA (thus greenlighting racial gerrymandering), it's time to take proportional representation very seriously.

The gerrymandering wars unfolding in Texas, California, and elsewhere are the result of a national problem that needs a national solution. FairVote’s David Daley spoke to "Velshi" on MSNBC about how we got here, and how the #FairRepAct would end gerrymandering for good.
