Talk:FairVote

message: This needs merging with another in the same category.
I agree with the proposal to move; one or the other, not both, and Center for Voting and Democracy is likely to be ambiguous. Septentrionalis 21:57, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Most of this article seems to have lots of problems with it. It is uncited assertions and doesn't follow WP:NPOV. In fact it looks like it was probably copied from somewhere with phrases such as "our ultimate goal", "One of our most active programs", etc. If no one objects after a couple of weeks, and the article doesn't get cleaned up, I think I'll delete the offending material.

replies: text: FairVote never has been an STV-only group, but it still leads with that as its proposal for PR in the USA. See discussion of "choice voting", a synonym for STV, on the site.RRichie (talk) 21:15, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Would it be correct to say that FairVote has greatly deprioritized its former goal of implementing PR-STV?

message: Fairvotes advoctaes multi-member seats for House elections. However, this does not guarantee that the overall national vote is proportional to votes cast. Their own analysis avoid giving a break-down - which arguably shows the Republicans would still have won the House on a lower vote than the Democrats. House election under "Fair Votes"Indeed, they also advocate "District Plus" to address this problem. Problems with multi-member systems(Coachtripfan (talk) 15:44, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: See a discussion this topic here [ http://www.fairvote.org/it-s-not-just-gerrymandering-fixing-house-elections-demands-end-of-winner-take-all-rules# ]and related analysis at fairvoting.us..... Of course, in the US, it's not a parliamentary system ,and STV/multi-seat district would create a group of less rigidly partisan House Members. So the standard is different.RRichie (talk) 21:24, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

message: Visiting the FairVote.org page today shows their support for only 2 reforms 1) Ranked Choice Voting, and 2) Fair Representation act. The section in this article on proposed reforms should be updated to reflect their current proposals. Also it will be interesting to know why they changed their supported policies. Thanks!
