    Does this person support electoral reform?

    Switching away from first past the post voting makes third parties viable and eliminates the spoiler effect. Just search for videos on FPTP voting if you want an explanation on how and why first past the post voting makes third parties not viable.

    Electoral reform is possible in each individual state (for now), we dont need federal reform! Maine and Alaska have already passed electoral reform actually.

    So what’s the hold up with the rest of the states? Start a campaign in your own state! Force our representatives to compete with fresh outside ideas. We deserve the best representation, not excuses.

      I understand what you’re going for, but right now people are focusing on the fact that this person supports human rights.

      You know I remember reading some Republicans like first past the post voting. Should we keep using the voting system they prefer?
