In recent weeks, there have been three electoral reform stories in the U.S. – the stories of Lawrence Lessig (get corporate money out of politics), Peter Ackerman (expand presidential debates beyond the two parties that monopolize power), and California (voter-drawn districts that end gerrymandering).

A new public meme (OpenPower) and an increasingly active Twitter hashtag (#ElectoralReform) are helping stimulate citizen attention to the possibilities of electoral reform.
