Another day, another editorial for KCCA1!
We’re very pleased to have the support of The Stranger for this worthy election reform.
Here’s an excerpt from their endorsement:
Elections officials do so much to increase turnout by a bit here and bit more there, but, as it turns out, simply holding elections on years when everyone’s talking about elections can expand the electorate by a ton, amplifying the voices of young people, people of color, people with low incomes, and other “low-propensity” voters.
Expanding the electorate is good because it will encourage elected officials to listen to people they usually don’t need to listen to in order to win under the current rules.
