[EM] Poll on voting-systems, to inform voters in upcoming enactment-elections

[Michael Ossipoff]

Yes, that federal law doesn’t prevent states from using PR to elect their
legislators.

So I suggest that PR be included in state electoral reform
proposal-packages.


But single-winner reform, being a less drastic & fundamental change, is
more feasible sooner.

Enactability soon is very important.
