Most people hear "one person, one vote," and think of the right to vote itself, but that was just the first step. The fight for an equal vote has been a long one. The idea is that your vote should be just as powerful as mine, no matter how many candidates are on your side. 1/3🧵

Coalitions that run multiple candidates risk splitting the vote and spoiling the election. As a result, voters face immense pressure to vote for the front-runner on their side. It's a race to the bottom. 2/3 🧵

Our current voting method is inherently unequal for voters who have more good candidates on their side, and this inequality has decidedly negative consequences: outsized influence of money in politics, hyper-partisan rancor, and widespread electoral disenchantment. 1/3 🧵

Most elections will still be using the outdated Choose One system, where vote splitting causes some people’s vote to matter more than others. At Equal Vote, we advocate for STAR Voting because everyone’s vote should have equal weight. Learn more at equal.vote/star

How would this be different under a better voting method such as STAR Voting? Because voters can score all of the candidates on a scale of 0-5 with STAR Voting, candidates would be incentivized to appeal to all of the voters, not just their base. 🧵 ⬇️

In California, a nonpartisan primary will take place in June, in which the top two contenders will advance to a November election. Dozens of candidates have declared interest. Since California uses Choose-One voting, vote-splitting will be likely. 🧵 ⬇️
