Marilyn Lands, a Democrat who made reproductive rights a central part of her campaign, will win a special election Tuesday for an Alabama state House seat, CNN projects.
Her victory serves as another data point for national Democrats, who hope the backlash over strict state abortion laws following the overturning of Roe v. Wade and concerns about in vitro fertilization treatments will help their party in November, even in traditionally Republican areas.
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?
Some Republicans also like lemonade. Doesn’t mean lemonade is bad now. Something something broken clock.
Ok, but first past the post is a bad voting system.
Agreed, but that’s not what this post is about.
