Vote splitting occurs when similar candidates divide the support of like-minded voters, which weakens their chances of winning. This can accelerate hyper-partisanship in several ways: Extremes Thrive: Moderate candidates often split the vote among those with centrist views, allowing more extreme candidates with a dedicated base to win, even if they have less overall support. Discourages Diverse Choices: Voters may avoid voting for a preferred candidate out of fear that splitting the vote will help elect a candidate they strongly oppose, reinforcing #polarization between the two major parties. Reinforces the Two-Party System: As smaller parties or #independent candidates struggle due to vote splitting, the dominance of two parties entrenches a polarized, partisan system with little room for nuanced views.

"St. Louis Alderman Rasheen Aldridge, who supported the city’s 2020 proposition to switch to approval voting, said that approval voting put an end to manipulation by powerful political interests. Prior to approval voting, Aldridge said, some interest groups would encourage people to enter municipal races to split the vote and undermine another candidate. But now that voters can pick more than one candidate on the ballot, that strategy doesn’t work anymore." Read more here: https://lnkd.in/g-fVktbt

A special Thank you to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation for a stellar meeting in DC! #Approvalvoting #democracyatwork
I had an amazing time at the Congressional Black Caucus engaging with legislators, their staff, reconnecting with old friends and making some new ones in the process. #alc53 was an amazing opportunity to discuss election reform, vote splitting and highlight the impact of approval voting. Excited to continue working toward a more representative democracy! #CBC #cbcalc53 #ElectionReform #ApprovalVoting
