When it comes to elections to the House of Representatives, partisanship dominates. The fact that there are only six Democratic holdouts on impeachment prove that point. The Fair Representation Act, an antidote to this type of system, would lessen partisanship's chokehold on our government.

On October 8, 2019, Representative Barbara Lee (D-CA-13) added her name to the list of Representatives co-sponsoring the Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) Act, bringing the total number of cosponsors to 13 house members.

In April of 2016, FairVote joined a federal lawsuit arguing that the Federal Election Commission has a responsibility to intervene and stop partisan manipulation of the presidential debates.

The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that federal courts have no constitutional role to play in preventing partisan gerrymandering. However, the legislative branch can, in fact, act to mitigate the nefarious effects of gerrymandering. It should do that by passing the Fair Representation Act, which would institute a different election system: the single-transferable vote form of ranked choice voting.

Ranked choice voting is garnering more allies in Congress. The Election Security Act retains a provision from H.R. 1 that helps advance the movement for ranked choice voting.

Steve Mulroy highlights a number of common-sense reforms to fix our flawed electoral systems, including multi-winner ranked choice voting for congressional races.

The Fair Representation Act continues the history of updating elections to reflect modern times.
