Michigan: Stop Unfair Election Practices
Michigan should adopt the Districts Plus voting system. This system should allow for more proportional representation and eliminate the abuse of gerrymandering. More details of the proposed plan can be found at : http://www.fairvote.org/assets/Independent-Redistricting-and-Districts-Plus.pdf
Why is this important?
People of Michigan should be ashamed that we are ranked in the top ten when it comes to unfair elections. Mainly do to gerrymandering and other political gaming the representatives we vote for does not match the representatives we elect. Currently in the Michigan House 54% of voters voted for Democratic representatives yet only 46% of the seats were filled by Democrats. We the citizens of Michigan should demand that the representation accurately reflects that way we vote, no matter if we vote Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, or Green.
