    Don Beyer(D) proposed the Fair Representation Act in 2017 that included implementing RCV for electing representatives to the House.

    It’s much easier to sell a national popular vote, since people are used to popular votes already. RCV will be much easier to push federally when there are plenty of states that use it locally. Until then it’s largely a non-starter.

      Well, then, I look forward to Democrats actually doing that instead of just using third parties as a cudgel to keep their voters in line. However, I suspect that I’m about to stop hearing about RCV for four years.

        Write your representatives and encourage your friends to do the same. It’s a frequent topic of conversation, it only gets pushed louder in election years because people keep insisting on voting 3rd party in a FPTP election.
