Proportional Representation

Proportional representation ensures elections are fair for all voters and that every voice is heard. Instead of electing one legislator, different groups of voters elect winners in proportion to their share of the votes cast. For instance, if 60% of votes go to conservatives and 40% go to liberals, then about 60% of seats go to conservatives and 40% go to liberals.

I support this 100%. No more gerrymandering and just maybe Congress can get something done for a change.🤞
