Elected Together

Elected Together is a new way of electing Senators and Representatives that ensures the vast majority of voters end up represented by someone they genuinely support. Instead of winner‑takes‑all, it elects two winners whose viewpoints reflect the broad mainstream of the community. It’s designed to reduce hostilities within the election process and make elections more fair, stable, and cooperative.

For House elections, Elected Together dismantles the mechanics of gerrymandering, while in both House and Senate elections it lowers the hostilities surrounding winner‑takes‑all contests, removes the anxiety of voting for a so‑called ‘spoiler’ candidate, and eases public fears about fraud and vote manipulation.

Some people initially assume Elected Together works like the United Kingdom’s model, where every ideological group gets its own small bloc of seats. But that approach simply moves fragmentation into the legislature. Elected Together avoids this by electing two winners whose prevailing viewpoints reflect the broad mainstream of the community — not a collection of narrow ideological factions.

In short: Elected Together ensures that the vast majority of voters walk away confident they’ll be fairly represented in how our society is governed. And in doing so, it helps elected officials understand that governing is about finding common ground between those elected — not just about winning an election.
