Lee Drutman, senior fellow in the program on political reform at the nonpartisan think tank New America, voices support for reforming our winner-take-all system of electing U.S. House members in a new report: “ If states were to restore multi-member districts—ideally, districts would each have at least five representatives—more third parties would emerge. Voters would get more choices, and it would be harder for extremists to take over a major party. It would also be easier for factions to emerge within the two parties, producing more multi-dimensional bargaining in the legislature and better representation in the electorate, as voters would get more choices. A more intermediate step in this direction would be to follow Maine’s lead on ranked-choice voting… Combining multi-member districts and ranked-choice voting would be an excellent choice. A very good plan along these lines is FairVote’s Fair Representation Act.”
