You’re right, it’s a chicken and the egg scenario. I really don’t know how we can convince politicians to push for RCV when that’s exactly what will let some measure of power slip from their hands. A few states (Alaska, Maine, & Nevada) have done it now, and North Carolina had it but their legislature “thought better of it” and repealed it.

More than any one political issue, this needs to happen first for any real change to occur.
Agreed. But it will have to start on the municipal level and work its way up, I believe.
