Good news from Seattle. On Question 1, whether voters want to approve of ANY reform, the 'Yes' vote is slowly creeping toward 50% + 1. Today's results show Yes vote is now at 49.76%, only 1100 votes away. Still about 86,000 ballots left. Getting closer...
More good news from Nevada. 94% of all ballots are counted, and the RCV initiative there, which is combined with open primary/Final Five voting, is maintaining its 52 to 48% lead. Looking very good in Nevada!
"America desperately needs to plot a course to the future in which representative democracy is not based exclusively on geography, not based exclusively on where a voter lives, but instead is based substantially on providing representation centered on what a voter thinks."
Proportional representation will be difficult to achieve, but the rewards are worth the effort!
Lots of important threads here regarding inching towards a more representative democracy
