I am glad that this passed in California, but this whole thing makes me feel terrible for the outlook of the country. I've been interested in counter-gerrymandering and alternative voting methods like ranked choice voting for a while now. I had loved seeing some states like California and Colorado taking steps to better elections.
But of course, having better and better elections in blue states just allowed red states to have worse and worse elections to cease control at a national level. I don't know how you fix this problem, other than to do what California did and beat them at their own game. I don't see a constitutional amendment being passed to help any time soon.
