Great news: #ProportionalRepresentation used to settle #VotingRights lawsuit in California! Palm Desert CA joins Eastpointe MI in using Single Transferrable Vote (STV) (confusingly aka multi-winner RCV) to elect city council, make minority votes count.https://www.fairvote.org/palm_desert_ca_adopts_ranked_choice_voting …
In the past, a frequent fix for tyranny of the majority was the introduction of districts/wards, but that often doesn't work and relies on #gerrymandering!
Adopting multi-seat districts with STV naturally ensures that significant views are represented and more votes count.

Sadly, the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA) seems focused on adding districts: the wrong approach. I guess the settlement complied not because of STV in a 4-seat district, but because there's another 1-seat minority-focused district. 5-seat STV would serve them all better.
