Veteran and Forward Party supporter Toby Proctor writes:  duty is calling, once again.

Governor Ned Lamont today announced that he is establishing a working group consisting of members representing various political affiliations and tasking them with exploring options and developing a comprehensive legislative proposal to create a system that enables municipalities and political parties in Connecticut with the ability to use ranked-choice voting in caucuses, conventions, primaries, and certain municipal elections.

So far this year, you’ve heard us announce our endorsement of candidates for dozens of state and local offices across the nation. These dedicated public servants and prospective representatives embody everything Forward stands for—Protecting our democracy and the rule of law, elevating the voice of the voter, building towards consensus solutions, and leading with ethics and integrity. 

But we’re just getting started.

The electoral system in the United States needs a redesign, says political reformer Andrew Yang. Exposing the flaws of a system built on poor incentives, he proposes a cost-effective overhaul inspired by primary elections already working in places like Alaska and advocates for ranked-choice voting, where voters can choose candidates in order of preference regardless of party, stemming the influence of extreme ideologies.
