SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Expanding Representation in Michigan: Proportional Representation and State Elections
DESCRIPTION:The winner-take-all system used today in most U.S. elections exacerbates polarization\, supercharges gerrymandering\, and leaves many Americans with a representative for whom they did not vote.  \n\nExpanding Representation: Reinventing Congress in the 21st Century\, a report from the American Academy of Arts & Sciences\, examines how moving to a system of proportional representation could improve our politics for the future. Join us to learn what proportional representation is\, why it matters for our current moment\, what it can and cannot fix\, and how it can be designed and implemented at the state level.  \n\nRegister: https://forms.gle/AkbtRpXHcaUeFywW6\n\nFeaturing writers of the report: John M. Carey\, John Wentworth Professor in the Social Sciences\, Dartmouth College\; Jennifer McCoy\, Regent’s Professor Emerita of Political Science\, Georgia State University\; and Maria Perez\, Co-Director of Democracy Rising.
