The 2014 elections underscore the value that electoral reform can bring. More governors won their seats with less than 50% support than in a century, and most congressional elections remain locked up for incumbents. On the other hand, the four cities that held ranked choice voting elections in 2014 demonstrated the value of change -- and momentum is building.

• The New York Times editorialized on January 4th that ranked choice voting can be the best remedy for protecting minority voting rights.
• The Washington Post continued its call for ranked choice voting in Washington, D.C. in a January 11th editorial.
• Maine voters will have an opportunity to vote for ranked choice voting by November, 2016. Maine's largest newspaper has already endorsed the measure.
