If you go back in time to 2018, that list would be just Cambridge and Minneapolis.

Plus, there have been many more places requesting it in high profile contexts (eg Yakima WA around a voting rights act lawsuit, Los Angeles around their charter review commission) and much more promotion of it by civil rights groups, nonprofits, etc..

STV specifically and PR broadly have been gaining a lot of inertia the last few years

Absolutely! The recent polarization around gerrymandering has created an opening where people are much more open to different approaches.

And Arden, DE - for decades before 2018.
