On Assembly Required, Stacey Abrams interviews RepresentWomen’s Cynthia Richie Terrell on ranked choice voting, Electoral College reform, and pathways to parity.

On Crooked Media’s Assembly Required, Stacey Abrams sits down with RepresentWomen founder and Executive Director Cynthia Richie Terrell for a solutions-focused conversation about how election rules shape representation, and how to fix them.

Cynthia explains how ranked choice voting (RCV) empowers voters, encourages broader candidate fields, and helps more women and candidates of color run and win. They dig into the limits of the Electoral College, the promise of a national popular vote, and real-world results from places like New York City and Alaska. Cynthia also shares concrete actions, such as becoming a poll worker, and why systems reforms plus candidate support are key to achieving gender-balanced governance.
