Voting Reform

The two-party system doesn’t survive because it’s good. It survives because the rules are written to protect it.

If you’ve ever wanted to vote for someone but didn’t because you were afraid of “wasting your vote” — that’s not your failure. That’s a system failure. By design.

Ranked Choice Voting

Rank candidates by preference. If no one wins a majority, your vote transfers. That means:

  • Vote for who you actually believe in without fear

  • Third-party candidates compete on equal footing

  • Candidates appeal beyond their base

  • Negative campaigning becomes a liability

  • The “spoiler” problem disappears

Maine uses it. Alaska uses it. New Hampshire should be next.

Proportional Representation

NH’s 400-seat House is perfectly designed for proportional representation through Single Transferable Vote. Multi-member districts with STV would make the legislature actually reflect the full range of voter preferences.

Fair Ballot Access

The sore-loser law and signature requirements tilt the field toward the major parties. We support reforms that let new parties and independents compete.

Legislative Compensation

$100 a year isn’t citizen government. It’s government by people who can afford to work for free. That’s a class barrier wearing a tradition’s clothes.
