Blue Pennsylvania

While our General Assembly complains about federal interference, they keep passing laws that limit what local governments can do. To fight back, Blue Pennsylvania teams up with our suburban allies, building on what Philly Neighborhood Networks has already done—helping candidates, getting folks to vote, and reaching out.

Contact Your Representative

Forget the wonky diagrams and high school civics videos. Here’s what Ranked Choice Voting means in real, tangible terms:

No more vote-splitting. You can rank your favorite candidate first without worrying that you’re “helping the other side.”
Real majority rule. No more winning with 30%. RCV ensures every winner has over 50% support by reallocating votes from eliminated candidates.
Coalition politics, not toxic-attack politics. Candidates are incentivized to appeal to their opponents’ supporters, not smear them.
New voices rise. Voters can support underdogs without strategic hesitation, making it possible for community organizers and outsider candidates to win.

Let's stop choosing "the lesser of the evils" and start voting for the leaders we truly believe in. HB 123 would give local jurisdictions the option to use #RankedChoiceVoting for local elections. Use the link above to write your State Representative and ask them to demand hearings and movement forward on HB 123.
