We know we need to realign electoral incentives, so how does Final Five Voting work? Watch our quick 2-min video:


We've been asked lately, "Why Final Five Voting?" Here's one pretty strong answer to that question. We need accountability and results out of Congress--to do that, we have to fix our electoral system. #FinalFiveVoting

“[I’ve heard] nothing but EXCUSES. Nothing but EMPTY PROMISES. And the time for those excuses is OVER.” MUST WATCH🔥

On Capitol Chats, @saraeskrich of @DemocracyFound says #FinalFiveVoting could reduce the chances hyperpartisan candidates advance from primary #elections to the general. Listen here: wispolitics.com/2023/capitol-c…

"#FinalFiveVoting will give elected officials the freedom to work together to solve meaningful challenges, delivering results to keep their jobs. It is the best way to return to the truly democratic core principles our republic was founded upon." chippewa.com/opinion/column…


Great overview of the perils of the 'elections machinery' from @katherinegehl, with a nod to #FinalFiveVoting "This is not to minimize the complexity of partisanship created by our divisive election system... That difficulty is no excuse to not demand that Congress do its job"

The House (and the Senate) should vote at least as many times as they voted for Speaker--15--before we give up and default. Here's my piece in @FORTUNE. #DebtCeiling #HastertRule #LetCongressVote fortune.com/2023/05/24/deb…



Jeff Joerres: Playing politics with our financial system is irresponsible and dangerous. Absent Final Five Voting, legislators won’t change. Why should they? But there is a better way. #FinalFiveVoting @realclearpolicy realclearpolicy.com/articles/2023/…


Great interview with John Pudner @TBORA_ and Meg Ellefson @WSAU on #FinalFiveVoting. Meg rightly asked, "Is this a failsafe for bitter primaries?" If so [we certainly argue it would help!], let's get it done! takebackaction.org/post/leading-m…


"In the wake of Republicans’ disappointing outcome in the 2022 midterm elections, Speaker Kevin McCarthy has told donors privately that the party needs better candidates to keep their majority and expand it" @jbydlak #FinalFiveVoting discoursemagazine.com/politics/2023/…

Boosting voter participation during primary elections is vital to our democracy. Opening up primaries to more voters is one way to reach BPC’s turnout benchmark of 35% by 2026. Read the report here: bpcdc.org/3yi4YyF

"As Republicans, we often resist change for change’s sake. But we should keep an eye on what is happening in Alaska and Nevada and consider how other states approach elections." - John Pudner, @TBORA_ in @RiponSociety #FinalFiveVoting riponsociety.org/article/our-la…

#FinalFiveVoting is NOT #RCV. RCV "won’t accomplish what citizens really want and need: a Congress that gets the job done because it won’t change what winners do once they’re in office." For that, only #FFV will do. thebulwark.com/how-final-five… via @BulwarkOnline


“I seem to see the same movie playing over and over again in our political races….do we expect a different ending? As a Republican voter in Wisconsin, I am once again frustrated by the party primary.” - Kelly Grebe #FinalFiveVoting #Wisconsin wisconsinrightnow.com/final-five-vot…
