Today we honor those we lost, those who served, and those who showed extraordinary courage. Americans can disagree deeply about politics and policy while still sharing a commitment to our communities and to America.

As Meredith Sumpter writes in *The Democracy Renovator*: “It’s an exciting moment for democracy reform. Not since the civil rights movement have so many Americans been so determined to fix what is broken in our politics and governance.” RCV is part of that conversation. buff.ly/JIzhPLq

Tens of thousands of Wisconsin Democrats have "spoiled" their ballots in the single-choice voting primary for governor because three candidates have dropped out and a fourth candidate has reentered the race since voting began in the Badger State.
