- States adopting mixed member proportional representation - thereby Replacing both legislative and nonpartisan redistricting with letting voters directly “level” the parties in a legislature thru party lists - will be as “populist” a move as Wisconsin adopting state-ran primaries in the early 1900s.
- NEW: Virginia Dems have unveiled their proposed 10-1 congressional map in response to GOP gerrymanders in other states. It targets 4 Republicans & has 10 Harris seats. It will be used in 2026 contingent upon an April 21 voter referendum. Interactive map+data: davesredistricting.org/join/20e0049...
- Ohio GOP arguing in 2024 that nonpartisan redistricting commissions are unaccountable to voters? Well here you go: MMP lets voters “redistrict” from the bottom up. Putting partisan representation fully in the hands of the voters should go beyond CA Prop 50 or (what I assume will be) VA Question 1.
- The way forward in state legislatures will not go through top-two+ primaries, nor through proportional RCV, nor through redistricting commissions, but through abolishing state senates, adopting MMP for legislatures and US House, and expanding the US Senate with +100 PRCV-elected delegates.
