We will need to make the districts themselves more competitive. Taking legislators our of the redistricting process would be a good start. Most mature democracies long ago made the switch to multi-seat proportional representation systems. These systems are founded on the idea that all voters should be able to win support in proportion to their share of the electorate. Proportional representation is a simple notion, really, but one that is poorly understood in the United States.
Proportional systems come in a range of reforms.
We urgently need state and national conversations about what is fair representation and real democracy as we head into a new century with new challenges. 6930 Carroll Ave.
