Ranked choice voting (RCV) — also known as instant runoff voting (IRV) — makes our elections better by allowing voters to rank candidates in order of preference.

RCV is straightforward: Voters have the option to rank candidates in order of preference: first, second, third and so forth. If your first choice doesn’t have a chance to win, your ballot counts for your next choice.

RCV works in all types of elections and supports more representative outcomes. RCV means better choices, better campaigns, and better representation.

My state had it on the 2024 ballot but the idiot voters bought into the propaganda and struck it down.

Which state? If it was CO, that bill sucked, and was poisoned by the inclusion of the "jungle primary into top 4 ranked choice" thing. I did a lot of research and talking to people. I really really believe that reforming our voting system to ranked choice, approval voting, or almost anything other than FPTP, but the CO bill was ranked choice in name only.
