There are nonpartisan voting reform measures on the ballot in many states during this election cycle. If you live in one of these states, and you haven't voted yet, you still have time to watch our film, Majority Rules.
Decide for yourself whether these reforms can incentivize elected officials to heal the divide, reach across the aisle, and govern with civility and conscience.

You can watch the democracy film on which we are executive producers, @MajorityRules24, now!
What if nonpartisan electoral reform could change everything?

Seltzer poll: Harris 47, Trump 44 in Iowa desmoinesregister.com/story/…
Here’s the great @jaselzer breaking down the 2016 Democratic primary results for our @VanityFair series Nomination. vanityfair.com/video/watch/n…

.@jaselzer’s final poll in 2020 the weekend before the election had Trump by +7%. He won it by +8%.
🚨🚨🚨 IOWA POLL
Kamala Harris: 47%
Donald Trump: 44%
Margin of error: +/- 3.4%

Seltzer powers: activate.
Now this is interesting… it’s a respected poll.
Now, pick your theory/spin:
A.) Poll is off. No poll infallible. Weird local IA bump.
B.) Race is breaking toward Harris. Not an Iowa only thing; nothing huge and unique has happened to move only Iowa. desmoinesregister.com/story/…
One of the things that’s so special about the @jaselzer Iowa Poll is that it forecasts where the race is trending. It’s not the final number, it’s directional. In 2016 and 2020, it raised the red flag for Dems. Kudos to Ann & @Selzer_Co_MY for being the best at what they do.

Great @burgessev story on something I'd missed: a push in a bunch of states, led by Colorado, to kill party primaries semafor.com/article/10/29/20…

Exciting to see #RankedChoiceVoting on the ballot in so many states but frustrating to see all the misinformation being spread about #RCV by those who put party affiliation before voter power — that mindset needs to change to build a vibrant & representative democracy 🗳️
RCV's biggest election day...so far! @Fairvote

Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, says she hopes Mary Peltola, a Democrat, is re-elected to Congress.
"I’ve appreciated the great work that she has done for the state, and I hope that she’s able to continue that,” Murkowski said.

Wowza! My dear husband @Rob_Richie is in this great film about #RankedChoiceVoting & #OpenPrimaries in AK -- it's a great movie to watch if you are hungry for solutions to address the polarization & dysfunction that is plaguing our politics.

I have an appearance in this excellent documentary summarizing benefits of ranked choice voting, which is discussed via uses and advocacy in states like Alaska, and Oregon. Check it out!
Will Idaho return to open primaries? They are already transforming elections in Alaska, and it could be the future for ALL of us.
