We can't thank Senator Thatcher enough for his support of Approval Voting and his record of working for the people of Utah vs for a party. We are also excited to see the Forward Party innovate in the mid-term replacement process. https://www.11chooses.com/apply

🧵The beauty of Approval Voting is its clarity and ease of implementation—a hallmark of true effectiveness. It changes the political game for the future by creating legislators that genuinely reflect, or at least understand, the values of their entire electorate.
🧵This ensures that the people who reach office are those who can bridge divides, understand diverse needs, and, crucially, align with the deep, necessary values required to tackle complex national and global problems.
🧵Unlike other complex reforms, Approval Voting offers a robust yet simple mechanism that voters can easily embrace: selecting all candidates they approve of. This change eliminates the 'spoiler effect' and forces candidates to appeal to a broad majority.
In a final step, the NAACP National Board passed an amendment to the States Voting Rights Act to include research & piloting of Approval Voting to boost participation/representation! We stand ready to work w/ 2200 branches to introduce Approval Voting!

We're actively breaking the voting reform monopoly! Nina introduced Dem candidates to the full range of alternative voting methods last weekend—not just RCV. They voiced frustration that only 1 idea was presented as the original solution.
