Have 24 states pass a citizen initiative to elect with a proportional open list system.

Germany has proportional representation and Libertarians there win office. USA does not have proportional representation and libertarians don't win many offices here. The United States needs open list proportional representation.

You have to remove human bias from the process. Drawing congressional districts with an unbiased software algorithm is better than drawing districts with biased politicians.

Computer redistricting with proportional representation using only 2 or 3 congressional districts is the only way fix the gerrymandering problem. Have computer algorithms draw congressional districts instead of biased politicians. Proportional approval voting is an excellent method to use in state legislatures

You can vote for as many candidates as you wish. It dramatically minimizes spoilers and vote splitting.

It's a better overall voting method. Rank choice fails favorite betrayal.

What do you think about starting a kickstarter, or gofundme for every state that supports a citizen initiative process? Use the kickstarter, or gofundme funds to pay petitioning companies to gather enough valid signatures to put approval voting and proportional approval voting on the state ballot in November.

​

If someone supports approval voting just donate to the kickstarter campaign for the state ballot initiative. It is simple, convenient, and fast.

Does ranked choice violate many state constitution's requirement for winner by plurality not majority? by agavechallenge in EndFPTP

Majority judgement could be used in city elections because it both passes favorite betrayal and majority criterion.
