Most US midterm elections are already decided, reformers say
Original: Most midterm elections are already decided. Here’s how to fix the problem.
Election reform advocates argue that most US midterm races are effectively decided before election day, due to gerrymandered districts and heavily one-sided constituencies that leave only a minority of seats genuinely competitive. The remedy proposed includes independent redistricting and ranked choice voting to make more contests truly contested and increase voter influence.
Why now: Renewed attention to midterm competitiveness as another US election cycle approaches and reform groups push structural changes.
