For nearly two decades we have published Monopoly Politics and Dubious Democracy reports every two years, changing the national conversation about noncompetitive elections to focus on structural reform. On November 6, 2014, we called the winners in nearly nine out of ten House elections set to take place more than two years later in 2016 – as we simultaneously build support for an Act of Congress to allow every voter to participate in meaningful elections.

Our Representation 2020 project distributed more than 2,000 State of Women's Representation 2014 reports that feature the positive impact fair representation voting can have on women's representation.
