Welcome to the Ranked Choice Voting Community!
Voting is broken! Let's fix it.
Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) is a voting system in which voters rank candidates by preference on their ballots. If a candidate wins a majority of first-preference votes, they are declared the winner. If no candidate wins a majority, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and votes for that candidate are redistributed to the remaining candidates, based on the next preference on each ballot. This process continues until one candidate has a majority. Learn more about how it works.
Why Ranked Choice Voting?
- Prevents the tyranny of the middle

- Saves money by avoiding runoff elections

I guess democracy really is on the ballot here.
I wonder if they’re motivated by trying to make it okay that the DNC skipped its primary this year?
Things to get upset about: Trump wants to kill his opponents and accelerate carbon emissions as much as humanly possible, setting us on a pace for worldwide suicide and shutting off all the exit ramps he can manage
Things we need to solve without delay as soon as the end of the world is postponed: The Democrats are also okay with killing Palestinians and wealth inequality
Things I don’t give even the smallest fuck about: The Democrats skipped their primary this year
