"Electoral reform is a rudimentary aspect of democracy that we’re missing. America is losing hundreds of thousands, potentially even millions of votes, because people say their votes won’t matter, and right now, they’re often right. Change has to happen to ensure the democratic, constructive future of the United States."

"Democracy has always been messy, and it always will be, but that should not discourage us from demanding solutions to the inequities of voting in our cities, states, and country. Looking back on the 2008 election, despite there being record levels of turnout, two out of every five people decided to stay home. Is this the best we can do? I think not."

"I came to work at FairVote because I think ranked choice voting (RCV) offers a way out. RCV creates more proportional representation, has a history of giving minorities more access to political office, and lets voters elect individual representatives rather than a party slate."

"So many of the most pressing issues of today - unpopular politicians, polarized politics, and inadequate policy discourse - are the result of broken electoral procedures and ineffective voting methods. At FairVote, I hope to be part of the movement to build a more fair, representative democracy that speaks for everyone. "

"This summer at FairVote, I am excited to be with a new set of people who are working to solve one of the most significant problems in the country."

Ranked choice voting continues to score significant victories and historic progress in state legislatures around the country

Ranked choice voting stars in elections in Northern Ireland and Australia, while talks of RCV for the 2020 Democratic nomination process continue.

The seemingly shocking results in Australia's elections are not so surprising if you understand the ranked choice voting system
