Our elections are broken. Here's how to fix them., Benjamin D. Singer

Politicians fight endlessly. Why? A flaw in our voting system discourages leaders from working together. But there is an easy fix, which families and businesses use all the time to find common ground. Reformer Benjamin Singer helped pass the innovation into law in one city. He shows how this one simple change can incentivize leaders to bring America back together, stop bickering, and serve the people. Benjamin is the CEO at Show Me Integrity is Missouri’s only cross-partisan reform organization. They work together across geographic and party lines for a government that is transparent, efficient, & accountable to all the people of Missouri. The organization takes a structural, community-driven approach to solve systemic problems.
