  2. How about adopting the Wyoming Rule?

    How about expanding the size of state legislatures?

    How about creating new states by carving up oversized states?

    How about more states trying different methods of choosing Presidential Electors?

  3. How about every state adopting split electoral votes like Nebraska and Maine?

    How about the number of electors scaling with the state’s surface area or GDP or crop yield or average income, instead of with population?

    How about using counties as electoral districts, and treating them the same way in state elections, as states are treated in federal elections?

  5. Why has Fairvote been sabotaging local initiatives that compete with ranked choice, like approval or STAR voting?

  6. The article is behind a wall, but based on the title: local experiments good; democracy no good, except as a very limited part of a balanced system of different types of power.

  7. Unsurprisingly, all the specifics move things in the wrong direction. We were never supposed to be a democracy. The founders wisely established many guardrails to limit democracy, as part of a balanced system – many of which have been since foolishly removed or worn down, resulting in far less limited government, much to our detriment.
