The discussion of FPV is especially timely as the U.S. House is currently (at 11:30AM ET) holding a hearing on the Make Elections Great Again (MEGA) Act, which would prohibit the use of FPV and other ranked voting systems. www.doctorsofdemocracy.org/blog/fpv-for...

In our latest blog, Jameson Henderson Redden introduces “full preferential voting” (FPV), a system of voting common in Australia. Jameson reflects on his experiences as a voter and argues FPV could help increase Americans’ confidence in their democracy. www.doctorsofdemocracy.org/blog/fpv-for...

When Abraham Lincoln first ran for office in 1832, he lost in an election where voters declared their votes aloud and in public to all watching. This system, known as "viva voce" voting, has a long history in the United States and around the world.

In early in 2025, the incoming Trump Administration removed from public view numerous resources about foreign interference, disinformation, and election security from FBI, CISA, and other agency websites. Read more: www.doctorsofdemocracy.org/blog/FIEC-la...

A Path to Improvement 🚀
But AI isn't all bad news! It has the potential to strengthen democracy by improving election administration, helping officials communicate with diverse groups, and leveling the political advertising playing field.

The Civic Impact 📉
From silly memes to malicious disinformation, AI-generated content can make it harder for both citizens and officials to trust what they see and hear. This can lead to decreased civic engagement and trust in institutions.

The Downside: A "Threat Accelerator" ⚠️
AI is a "threat accelerator." It makes it easier to create and spread malicious disinformation, including deepfakes of public figures. This erodes trust and makes it harder to hold officials accountable. doctorsofdemocracy.org/AI

The DODO team recently got together in New York to discuss democracy and review an original draft of the Bill of Rights. (The 1789 version at the NY Public Library includes 12 amendments, including one that would have limited the population in each congressional district to 50,000 people).
