There's also the hybrid Mixed Member Proportional (e.g., Germany) that pairs SMDs with MMDs.

Unclear which PR method would be best for California, but in terms of district magnitude, research suggests that 4-8 winners per district is the best tradeoff. (3/3)

Regarding how it would work, it depends on which PR method you use and how large to make the districts.

What you describe is closed-list PR (e.g., Spain). Open-list would let you vote for party *and* a candidate (e.g., Finland). #PRCV would let you vote *just* for candidates (e.g., Ireland). (2/3)

@prorepcoalition.bsky.social is talking about the California state legislature. @fixourhouse.bsky.social and @fairvote.bsky.social are the organizations working at the federal level. (1/3)

"In return, Moscow would promise not to further attack Ukraine or other countries in Europe..."

So basically, only what Russia had already promised Ukraine in return for them giving up their nukes in 1994, a promise they broke when they invaded three years ago.

Yes, that'd require repealing a 1967 law that mandates single-member districts.

Passing the Fair Rep Act would do this.

Of course, politicians are unlikely to be willing to change a system they won office in, so the state/local level is much more viable right now.

But there is a multi-winner and thus proportional version of RCV known a #ProportionalRankedChoiceVoting as used in Portland, OR and a few other US cities. Cambridge, MA has been using it since the 1940s. (2/2)

I think it's clear to keep in mind that the most common form of #RankedChoiceVoting is a winner-take-all system while PR requires multi-member districts.

#RCV not likely to break the duopoly but does help moderates over extremists to fight polarization and addresses the spoiiler effect. (1/2)

"Government maps are often 10 or more years old and rely on historical data—not forward-looking projections—even though FEMA’s own reports show heavy rainfall is increasing."

This increases flood damage costs, both to residents and taxpayers.
