No matter who "wins" the gerrymandering wars, the voters will lose.

But we can end gerrymandering for good with the Fair Representation Act.

FairVote CEO Meredith Sumpter explains how the #FairRepAct puts voters at the center of our democracy w/ #ProportionalRepresentation ⬇️

Virginia should consider it.

@upvoteva.bsky.social is working on it.

Gerrymandering is a national problem that needs a national solution.

The Fair Representation Act can be that solution by bringing #ProportionalRepresentation and #RankedChoiceVoting to Congress.

@davedaley.bsky.social discussed the #FairRepAct w/ @npr.org's @toddzwillich.bsky.social.

Alaska’s legislature - despite the repeal effort for the system that elected them - is forming the problem solvers caucus we all want in Congress. Alaska is doing it and governing accordingly.
