Here’s a really strong statement of opposition to the FILTER Act (B26-436) from Gary Thompson, former Chair of the DC Board of Elections (Jan 2022-July 2026). Worth reading all 9 pages of it:

An important step to have full voter enfranchisement in DC! @councilofdc.bsky.social should support @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social’s amendment.

@cmbrookepinto.bsky.social Thank you for voting at the last budget meeting to respect DC voters on the tipped wage! Appreciate your vote for ranked choice voting last time, but Initiative 83 needs to be fully funded. Please do the right thing Monday!

Dear @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social please hold the line and fully fund Initiative 83. The voters approved it and we don’t need more study. Counting on your leadership! #ward2 resident here. Thanks

Also interesting: Ward 2 Councilmember Brooke Pinto is proposing an amendment to fund semi-open primaries in D.C., which was one half of Initiative 83. The other half, ranked-choice voting, is being funded separately. If this passes, D.C. would get RCV and semi-open primaries in 2026.

This was me, a little over a year ago, dressed in suffragette white, wearing a sandwich board stating: I CANNOT VOTE TODAY ASK ME WHY. As a registered unaffiliated (independent) voter, I'm barred from voting in DC's taxpayer-funded primary elections. 73% of voters here want to change that. 1/2

One great thing about ranked choice voting: it demonstrates who’s in it on values (demonstrated via coalition building) and who’s just in it for ego and power. More of this please!
