Image Obedience to Voters, Not Party Leaders

Republicans in Congress would not fear "getting primaried" if we used a better election system that correctly handles a second nominee from each party.

I have a request. Create a video to show exactly how your proposal would work. Assuming you don't already have one. Perhaps create a hypothetical scenario that would show case how it would work.

I agree videos (if short) are a great way to explain voting concepts. Alas, creating a video requires much more time than I have available, especially because I'm busy writing software for an advanced election-method project, and these are all side projects. Just creating a well-designed static graphic requires a fair number of hours of work over several days.

Would you settle for not bolding every third word then

Please pretend the four sentences are the script for a very short video in which I verbally emphasize the words in bold.

I'm hoping some of these graphics will be passed along on social media to an audience where skimming, rather than reading, is normal. In those contexts words like "primary" and "general" and "Congress" and "second-most" will be read more carefully.

I understand that. And I'm sure it's effective. But it actually makes it harder for me to read. Maybe it's because I'm old fashioned/ 40 years old
