@leedrutman.bsky.social's @fixourhouse.bsky.social is working for #ProportionalRepresentation here, with @fairvote.bsky.social championing PRCV/STV for the House of Representatives with their Fair Representation Act.
And we in California are working hard to bring it to the state legislature.

With #ProportionalRepresentation, you do ONE district with 5 seats. 60% of the seats (3) go to red, and 40% of the seats (2) go to blue, fairly matching the vote total.

"[ #ProportionalRepresentation ] for the U.S. House of Representatives and state legislatures may help shift election and policy outcomes to more accurately reflect voter preferences... elections become more competitive, and legislatures more accurately reflect the full range of public views."

Effective action to protect our planet requires us to work together.
Winner-takes-all systems prevent that. Proportional Representation would enable the kind of collaborative thinking we need to build a sustainable future. 🌍🌱

Indeed. You can also look up other indices of democratic health (e.g., V-Dem, favored by political scientists) to find very similar results.
By the way, you can follow Fix Our House at @fixourhouse.bsky.social. They're working at the national level (we're focusing on California).
