I’m hearing alot about the structural flaws of First past the post voting these days. Glad to see more people talking about the topic. Let’s start making plans to fix this once and for all so people are free to vote how they want.

      I can’t see the red states ever getting on board with this, since the only way they’ve ever won is via the college and not the popular. They would be resigning their historical preference (based on history of the vote). Am I wrong? This seems to me to be how it stands.

        Republicans are legislating to protect First Past the Post voting. Florida already has banned Ranked Choice voting (but there are many other voting systems we could use).

        So why haven’t the democrats passed electoral reform in states they control? Why do they want to continue using the voting system republicans prefer? Isn’t the republicans liking something a ultragigagigantic red flag?
