      How are you going to change the voting system when the people who have the power to change the voting system are the ones who benefit from the system as-is?

        You start local with referendums and work your way up. That’s how Fargo got approval voting, for example.

          This is correct. It’s entirely sad that we have 100,000 people speculating how to do it and maybe 10 people actually working to get it done. If I could write you a check to quit your day job and work solely on this, I would. Sadly I can’t, otherwise I would have cut myself the same check.
