Friend, 

 

A little over a year removed from the January 6th attacks, one thing is clear: authoritarianism is on the rise in the US. 

 

A new report from Protect Democracy describes how electoral systems — rather than specific people, parties, or events — have had an outsized political influence on rising authoritarianism in our country. 

 

Tomorrow, Unite America Executive Director Nick Troiano will be on a panel with experts from Protect Democracy and R Street Institute to discuss the report and its implications for the future – mainly that structural reforms like ranked choice voting can help stem the tide.

WHAT: PANEL: How America's Electoral System Benefits Authoritarianism, and How We Can Fix it

WHEN: Feb 2, 2022 12:00 PM EST

WHO:

• Didi Kuo, Associate Director for Research and Senior Research Scholar at the Center on Democracy, Development | Stanford University
• Lee Drutman, Senior Fellow, Political Reform Program | New America
• Nick Troiano, Executive Director | Unite America
• Matt Germer, Resident Elections Fellow, Governance Program | R Street
