    How we vote is handled at the state level. Can you explain why most blue states still use First-past-the-post voting? Republicans arent in the way in these state governments.

      Because people that want election reform don’t vote in primaries for candidates running on election reform. It isn’t complicated. You could also engage with the system and change it like Maine did. But that would require voting again, so probably a non-starter.
