Why now?
We’re living through a moment of deep frustration with our political system.
Here’s why the True Democracy Project was created:
Why is reform needed?
Because many "winners" in U.S. elections receive less than 50% of the vote. When multiple candidates split the majority, a minority-backed candidate can still win—this is fundamentally undemocratic.
Is this a partisan organization?
No. Majority rule benefits everyone, regardless of ideology.
Does this change how people vote?
It changes the system, not the voter. Voters keep doing what they've always done: choose their preferred candidate.
What problem are we trying to solve?
Large fields of candidates often split the majority, allowing someone with less than 50% of the vote to win. That isn’t majority rule.
Is this partisan?
No. Majority rule benefits everyone. This project is strictly non-partisan and independent.
Does this change how people vote?
No. Voters still pick one candidate. The difference is simply that the winner must have majority support.
Is this ranked choice voting?
No. We prefer simple, direct elections with runoffs until a true majority is reached.
What happens if no one gets 50%?
An automatic runoff between the top candidates. Find out more

Why not keep the current system?
Because plurality elections undermine representation and allow outcomes that don’t reflect the will of most voters.
Is this about helping one party win?
No. Majority rule can help or hurt any party depending on the race. Our goal is fairness, not outcomes.
Will this increase turnout?
Yes. When elections actually reflect voter preferences, participation typically improves.
Is this complicated?
No. It’s the simplest possible reform:
the winner must have a majority.
Everything else follows from that.
