When I read "disrupt the corrupt two-party system," I wondered if you were pushing for voting reforms such as ranked-choice voting that make it easier for third-party candidates to win.

It seems like that's not the main focus of your org, but I was pleased to see a reference to RCV in your blog: [0]

I live in Australia and we have preferential voting. We also don't vote for a president but the prime minister is decided by majority of seats in house of representatives.

It still ends up mostly being a 2 party thing. Supporting your team is deep rooted. However at least there is the potential for a third party to get in.

But it suffers from the same statistical issue. If a quarter of voters vote green but equally across seats then that popular vote is not represented in the number of seats.

It is a vote of a vote still.

I wonder if we can move away from representation purely on where you live.

Where you live means something. City vs. Countryside. Poor neighbourhoods vs. Rich. But if your issue is suffered by many but you don't all cluster together in latitude and longitude then that issue has less weight.

Sorry forgot this is who's hiring!
