The surprising results sparked new alliances\, a growing call for election reform\, and fierce pushback from political parties. Could changing how Americans vote also change politics for the better? \n\n\n\nMajority Rules\, a film about the implementation of open primaries and ranked choice voting in Alaska\, presents a crucial look at how updating our voting systems can improve political incentives and decrease polarization. The documentary premiered at the 2024 DC/DOX Film Festival in Washington\, D.C.\, and was released theatrically in cities across the country. A new version of the film featuring the outcomes of the 2024 open primaries ballot initiatives was released September 16\, 2025\, in celebration of National Voter Registration Day. \n\n\n\nThis film screening is co-sponsored by Unite NY\, Braver Angels\, and the League of Women Voters of Westchester and will be followed by a short presentation by David Green\, Unite NY Organizing Director\, and Q&A about how these issues apply to New York. \n\n\n\n\nPurchase Tickets to Film Screening \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Film\n\n\n\nAlaska is gearing up to do something that no other state has ever done: Adopting a pair of election reforms that will eliminate traditional party primaries and allow voters to rank their candidates by preference. Just as election workers\, citizens\, and politicians are beginning to adapt to this new system\, the state’s longest-serving Congressman unexpectedly dies\, creating an open seat and prompting a special election that will test this system months earlier than expected. As dozens of candidates – including former Governor Sarah Palin – jump into the race for the highly coveted seat\, everyone must learn how these new voting reforms will change the rules of campaigning and winning. The surprising outcome in that special election leads to a groundswell of support for election reform in other states and fierce pushback from political parties and partisans\, just as the Alaska general election gets underway.. \n\n\n\nVeteran political documentary filmmaker AJ Schnack (Caucus\, Convention) returns to the campaign trail asking whether these new Alaska reforms\, an all-candidate open primary and an instant runoff general election\, might be a prescription for what ails the American democratic experiment. Traveling across the country\, Schnack and his crew interview reform supporters and opponents\, looking at where these reforms are already in place and where they may soon be adopted. The resulting film answers two of our nation’s most pressing questions: How did the American electoral system become so dysfunctional\, and can changes to how we vote change our entire system for the better? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare this:PostMore\n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp\n Like this:Like Loading...

Rocah has dedicated her life to pursuing justice for victims\, keeping our communities safe\, and working for a fairer criminal justice system for all. Guided by the principles of safety\, accountability\, integrity and justice\, DA Rocah leads an office with more than 120 Assistant District Attorneys\, 34 investigators\, and about 90 support personnel. As a daughter of victims of violent crimes\, DA Rocah\, who had a successful 16½-year career as a federal prosecutor\, is dedicated to fighting gun violence and extremism while investing in crime prevention and mental health programs. DA Rocah served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Department of Justice from 2001 to 2017 in the Southern District of New York (SDNY)\, where she oversaw the prosecution of organized crime\, gun traffickers\, corrupt public officials\, narcotics dealers\, sex traffickers\, and child predators. She is a recipient of the 2016 Women in Federal Law Enforcement Leadership Award. Under President Obama\, she was promoted in 2012 by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara to Chief of the DOJ’s Westchester Division. In that position\, she served as primary liaison with law enforcement agencies and other prosecutorial offices including the Westchester County District Attorney’s office\, and coordinated and co-chaired multi-county task forces on specific public health and safety issues like the opioid overdose epidemic. She has organized and led numerous forums in Westchester County on public corruption\, sexual abuse and domestic violence\, and cybercrimes. DA Rocah was elected Westchester County District Attorney in November 2020 after running a successful grassroots campaign centered on modernizing the DA’s Office and rebuilding trust between law enforcement and the communities it serves. Before running for office\, DA Rocah was Pace University School of Law’s Distinguished Fellow in Criminal Justice and a legal analyst for MSNBC and NBC News. Prior to her career at SDNY\, DA Rocah clerked for Judge John Gleeson of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York\, and Judge Chester J. Straub of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. She was also a litigation associate at the law firm Cravath\, Swaine and Moore\, and a paralegal at the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. A native of Chicago\, Illinois\, DA Rocah is a graduate of Harvard University and New York University School of Law. She is also an alum of the nationally-acclaimed NYC Urban Fellows Program\, a public policy fellowship where she completed her program with the NYPD’s Deputy Commissioner for Legal Affairs. \n\n\n\nPrice: $50/personAdjust quantities of luncheon tickets in your shopping cart after hitting the “Add to Cart” button and before entering payment information. \n\n\n\n First and Last Name(s) of Attendee(s): Email Address(es): \n\n\n\nWe welcome audience questions.
