We the people ask the federal government to Call on Congress to act on an issue:

Create a commission to research other voting methods besides first-past-the-post to be used in future elections

Created by S.D. on July 27, 2016

First-past-the-post voting creates a two party system where many Americans feel that their vote has no meaning.

It encourages gerrymandering
Third parties cannot gain support
It encourages Americans to vote for the candidate they DISLIKE the least.
It encourages tactical voting instead of voting for a candidate Americans believe in

Americans deserve a democratic system where they can vote for who the believe in and not vote for the lesser of two evils.

The voting system currently disenfranchises many Americans. In a state that always votes Republican or Democrat for president, the minority opposition has no incentive to vote.

America deserves a democracy where every vote counts and all points of view can be heard.
