On June 11, the Commission on the Practice of Democratic Citizenship, a unit of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, released “Our Common Purpose”, which recommends various election law changes. Here is the 84-page report.
Recommendation 1.1 is to substantially enlarge the size of the U.S. House. Recommendation 1.2 is to implement ranked choice voting in presidential, congressional, and state elections.
Recommendation 1.3 is to repeal the 1967 federal law that requires states with more than one member of the U.S. House to have single-member districts.
Combining all three recommendations would enable the nation to use proportional representation, specially Multi-Winner Ranked-Choice Voting.
A larger U.S. House would also have the side benefit of making the electoral college work better than it does now. It would reduce the disproportionate power of very small-population states. Also in case the U.S. House were ever called on to choose a president, the results would be less subject to gerrymandered U.S. House districts. Thanks to Fairvote for the link.
Uniform definition of Elector-Voter in ALL of the USA – esp occupied colonies.
PR and AppV — pending Condorcet = RCV done right.
TOTSOP
Nothing about ballot access laws being censorship of the ballot which deprives voters of the right to vote as they choose or the use of an all write-in ballot as maximizing voter’s ability to choose.
These well-intentioned do-gooders brought RCV in single-winner election districts to very many elections and since RCV in single-winner election districts is a one-party system this is horrible news.
Only Cambridge Massachusetts elections use RCV in multiple-winner election districts, nine council seats at-large, which is like a ten-party system.
Those groups should consider undoing the damage because the are untrustworthy when advocating a one-party system.

Fascism is a word by a name which the United Coalition USA will replace with the word CENSORED.
Fortunately no one wants that word by their name so no one is being CENSORED.
