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.

Yes.

The biggest problem in American politics is we only have two parties who can win that don’t represent the true majority but the most vocal minorities, the rich and the bean counters.

After this last election I’m starting to hate the Dems as much as reps. Yes they’re better on a mathematical level but most of them don’t listen when the people don’t want what the party wants and are too weak and unlikable to stand up for democracy when faced with a charismatic tyrant.
