Proportional Representation
“Majority Rule…with Representation for the Minority”
93% of delegates to the 2020 LWVUS Convention voted to adopt a position on Voter Representation
and the Electoral Process. It was historic! So how will the LWV be able
to use it to enhance representation and really “Make Democracy Work” for voters?
For the big picture and a local angle…
Join us! The NEXT in our series of “Conversations”
for LWV Electoral Reform Advocates with
Ruth Greenwood and Preston Jordan
Followed by Q & A
Ruth Greenwood, a Massachusetts League member, has been working in voting rights for over ten years. Ruth litigates a variety of redistricting cases, with a particular focus on ending partisan gerrymandering and promoting minority representation. Memorable speaker at 2018 LWVUS Convention! Learn how H.R. 4000, the Fair Representation Act can work to end partisan gerrymandering & reduce wasted votes… plus the Yakima County WA. story.
Preston Jordan, a LWV member, Energy Geosciences engineer at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and just elected to Albany CA City Council, led the local effort to bring proportional representation to Albany for both council and school board elections. It was a long road that hit a tipping point.
