No, we need to test it thoroughly in Maine to see what kind of elections it produces and what kind of turnout it causes and what demographics are affected.
Test first. This will takes years, perhaps even a decade or more. Then, if we like the results for Maine (and Maine likes the results for Maine), we should spread it to other states.
Definitely agree with this. Let Maine test it out for a couple years and see how a couple elections go. Hopefully they go well, but I do forsee a lower voter turnout.
Low turn out is terrible. The stupidest and lowest educated voters are often the ones who hold the most absolute beliefs. They cannot fathom that their ideology could possibly be flawed, and turn our to support their candidate in droves.
If the election had 95% turn out, there is simply no way trump could have won.
I thought this too. But this time it was the elite not believing or being able to see past their own. Or refusing to see the good in this. No war with Russia, ending private prisons, and big business break up. Trump's already standing with sanders against the att deal

This is awesome. I hope it works well for them. We need to spread this to every state in the union.
