Enact ranked choice voting to strengthen US democracy

To: Rep. Gomez

From: A verified voter in Los Angeles, CA

October 23

Implement ranked choice voting for more fair representation and have choice beyond two parties to strengthen democracy through bills like H.R. 7740. The current voting system often leads to lack of diverse representation and polarization between two parties. Ranked choice voting provides an equitable system reflecting the people's will by allowing voters to rank preferences. If no majority on first round, last place is eliminated and voters' next choices reallocated until a majority emerges. This allows genuine voter preferences without "spoiler" concerns, encouraging viability beyond two parties. It increases voter participation, leads to more civil campaigns, and represents diverse viewpoints in places implemented so far. A national transition would heal divisiveness plaguing politics.
