US democracy has repaired itself before. Here’s how we can do it again. America has remade itself every few decades. Are we due?

It is true that the most commonly used of PR requires parties (i.e., party-list PR), but there are versions that do not, like #ProportionalRankedChoiceVoting as used in Portland, PR-Approval, and PR-STAR, plus a few others.

#ProportionalRepresentation is the fix our broken system needs!

‘Proportional representation’ could reduce polarization in Congress and help more people feel like their voices are being heard The electoral system used by many global democracies eliminates gerrymandering and has been shown to give more equal representation to minorities and women.

Beyond Callais: We need new tools to uphold voting rights Over 60 years of precedent and protection for voters of color, especially Black voters, could be upended and voided if SCOTUS fails to uphold the right to vote.

"But these strategies must also include exploration of alternative electoral structures, like various forms of proportional representation..., so that all votes and all voices will matter."

Beth Fukumoto: The Sweet Side Of At-Large City Council Districts A proposal before the Honolulu Charter Commission deserves thoughtful attention.

"This is where #ProportionalRepresentation comes in. Instead of asking only, 'Which single dessert wins?' it asks a different question: if we are going to share this table, how many different desserts should be on it, and how do we decide which ones?"
