Cool story, bro. How do you propose to do that? You got a magic wand? How many of those ballot initiatives failed this time around?

Some level of election reform will be on the ballot in 9 states this fall. Make sure you vote, if you can!

Also worth noting that these efforts are generally led mainly by democrats, with support from some moderate republicans. In contrast, 10 republican-led state legistatures have passed outright bans on RCV. One of these parties is not like the other!

Nope, but as with so many discussions of this nature, this question misses the nuance of why women's sports exist.

Didn't see the NPR article, but this absolutely rings true to me. I live in a blue city in a red state. We were littered by Green Party ads for the primaries that were funded by right wing groups. I wouldn't say that the far left and far right are working together, but the right is for sure posing as leftist in local outlets and actively encouranging the left's tendency to eat their own.
