We need to try to pass these ballot initiatives for alternative voting systems when it’s an off-election year.
Too many people that aren’t checked into the voting process vote against any system changes during Presidential election years. Our best bet is to get a big movement going now so that we can vote for a different system during midterms.
All we need in half the states is to get citizens ballot initiatives going, which just require getting enough signatures to put it up for vote.
Even if citizens vote for it, that doesn't mean it'll actually go into effect. My state voted for abortion rights and higher minimum wages last year, but the people in charge just told the voters to fuck themselves and didn't approve it.
It’s more likely at the least. Most states allow for the voters to override a veto, but they only give you a certain window length to get enough signatures usually.
The best bet is to vote out any politicians that are trying to prevent more progressive legislation from passing. I feel that Blue governors should be playing hardball more and shaming the specific representatives or senators that are voting against progressive legislation.
