Request that Congress create legislation to replace current First Past the Post elections with proportional elections

Created by N.M. on July 15, 2015

First Past the Post (FPTP) elections, as practiced in the United States and the United Kingdom are considered by many political scientists to be inherently unfair, due to the way in which districts are created. On the other hand, Proportional elections remove many of the restrictions of voter districting, which also removes the threat of gerrymandering.
