On March 20, Congressmember Don Beyer (D-Virginia) again introduced the Fair Representation Act, HR 7740. Here is the bill information on the website for Congress. For states that have at least seven members of the U.S. House, it would, if enacted, institute proportional representation in elections for the House.

This bill has three distinct issues, and maybe ought to be divided:
1. authorizing multi member districts.
2. requiring RCV, and
3. “nonpartisan” redistricting.
Commie plan. Should go down in flames.
Don Beyer Volvo – got his dealership sticker on my toolbox. Pretty cool logo as it looks like a turbocharger.
I agree with Ron.
Taiwan uses proportional representation for its parliamentary elections. Taiwan is the least likely country to be labelled “Communist”. Its very existence is threatened by Communist China.
NOW-
1/2 OR LESS VOTES X 1/2 RIGGED CRACKED/PACKED GERRYMANDER DISTS = 1/4 OR LESS CONTROL

NOOOO PRIMARIES
SIMPLE PR — TOTAL VOTES / NO OF REPS PER STATE = EQUAL VOTES TO ELECT IN EACH STATE
—
BIT LATER- UNIFORM DEFINITION OF ELECTOR-VOTER IN ALL OF USA
THEN SIMPLE PR — TOTAL VOTES / TOTAL NO OF REPS [435] = EQUAL VOTES TO ELECT IN USA- INCLUDE STATES / DC / COLONIES

Same old shit from the AZ bot.

For #1, I think the bill requires multi-member districts, not authorizes them. To authorize is to allow (leave it up to choice). I also support a bill that repeals the laws that force every state to have single-member districts.
I support multi-member districts for my state legislature.
@AZ
Some states are large and have different geographic/cultural regions within them. Why would you force them to elect all of their representatives at-large?
Multimember districts are a bad idea. I want my representative to be directly responsible for constituent services and know whether to vote for him or against him based on how he represents me. Not pass the buck between multiple representatives for my district.
A.C.-
LEGISLATIVE BODIES EXIST ONLY BECAUSE A-L-L ELECTOR-VOTERS CAN NOT ASSEMBLE IN PERSON AND ENACT LEGISLATION.
MULTIPLE FACTIONS — NOT JUST 2
The US is not Taiwan. Things which work there don’t necessarily work here, and vice versa.
Too bad crAZy wasn’t on the bridge in Baltimore last night.
A corpse on a bridge? Or a disembodied, network distributed computer program? But why?
It’s Baltimore. Very high crime. They need Trump.
Everywhere needs Trump.
Does anyone know whether any of the previous iterations of this bill ever got a committee hearing, or was even assigned to a committee for hearings?
It’s a nonstarter, feel good bill.
WHAT TROLL MORON WAS RUNNING THE SHIP THAT HIT THE BRIDGE ???
MAJOR SHIPPING CHAOS FOR MANY MONTHS ???
SHOULD BE EMERGENCY REMOVAL OF BRIDGE WRECKAGE IN DEEP WATER CHANNEL

This was a case of an outdated, crumbling wreck which inevitably collapsed. And I’m not just talking about the Biden speech this time.
We need twice as many representatives as we currently have. At least 200 should be elected nationwide off a “national list.” That will be big enough for even third parties to get a couple of candidates. The bill as is doesn’t go far enough.
The AZ bot IS a bridgewreck.
Here is the current, ridiculously long title of the bill:
“H.R.7740 – To establish the use of ranked choice voting in elections for Senators and Representatives in Congress, to require each State with more than one Representative to establish multi-member congressional districts, to require States to conduct congressional redistricting according to nonpartisan criteria, and for other purposes.”
The bill’s text is not yet available on the congress.gov website, but based on the title alone, it would appear that multimember districts will be required in states with as few as two U.S. House representatives (not seven, as the initial post above states).
Every part of that is bad.
National list? Stock, youu really are a fucking retard.
Did you enjoy it when the adult man bent you over, child?
Stuck on Stock is probably Robert K Stock himself.
Motel 6 must be slow.
Everybody is Stock, including you. But, you didn’t answer my question. Did you enjoy that wrinkled old chickenhawk rooster?
Mentally deficient and physically abused child “Tom” (“Jerry,” “Hank,” etc) is definitely slow.
