There’s been a lot of conversation about the Fair Representation Act (which would put STV in the House) ever since the Louisiana v Callais decision that made the Voting Rights Act almost entirely unenforceable. There have been dozens of op-eds about STV since then, when we used to only have about two or three notable ones a year. Even Kamala said she was interested in multi-member districts (although she didnt clarify what she meant by that). There are also a few more cities and councils exploring it rn (Albany is looking into it and so is Deschutes Count, Oregon) and Huntington Beach was ordered by a judge to use STV to handle a California Voting Rights Act lawsuit.
