Our old friend Krist Novoselic–the former Nirvana bassist who wrote about music

Our old friend Krist Novoselic–the former Nirvana bassist who wrote about music and politics for the Weekly and Reverb for several years–is still penning op-eds about election reform.The McClatchey wire service picked up a piece he co-wrote with Bob Richie–Novoselic’s associate at FairVote–that is running in the Sacramento Bee, Newsday, and the Bellingham Herald, among others. In it, the authors advocate for election reforms that would give independent and third-party candidates–and their supporters–a greater chance to have a voice in office.Despite a long history of use in our elections, proportional voting is new to many Americans. The concept is simple: Like-minded voters can pool their votes together to elect representatives in proportion to their level of support. The result is multi-seat legislative districts with lawmakers who can represent the majority AND the minority of voters.”Check it out!Follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
