Boston stepping up for pro-democracy reform with #RankedChoiceVoting!
The city joins NYC, SF, Portland, and many more cities in enacting this RCV, which gives voters more power and more choices at the ballot box. Let's get this in Chicago next!
@enobacon But #RankedChoiceVoting even #IRV is always better than plurality-winner. If pointing out that #RCV is imperfect means we have to “ban RCV,” we’re going to be stuck with something worse.
"Our politics are far, far. far less toxic in Australia...because there are other outlets."
"...Dr. Zeitz is joined by Vinay Orekondy, an Australian-born... democracy innovator… Together, they unpack the failures of winner-takes-all politics, the transformational potential of... #ProportionalRepresentation, and... civic hubs…" (at 6:06)
Senate Bill 63 seeks to ban all Ranked Choice Voting in the state of Ohio. It has been passed through the Senate and will now head to the house.
As a home rule state, the state shouldn't be mandating how the people choose their representatives!

and the #GOP has noticed:

the GOP wins by disenfranchising voters, not by offering them more choices
therefore, the only way forward to #rankedchoicevoting in the #USA, which means stable #thirdparties and the ability to vote our conscience instead of dreary strategy, is to #vote for #democrats who support #RCV
#RankedChoiceVoting prevents someone from winning an election without majority support.
That's why #Republicans are on record against it.

In Michigan, the swingiest of swing states, this volunteer group is working to enact ranked choice voting. It will give voters more choices and help politicians be more accountable to voters.
They are a grassroots effort and could use our help. Printing petitions, lawyers for legal review, and even postage is expensive!

@TexasObserver #RankedChoiceVoting in #Texas would 'dethrone' #BananaRepublicans. But the #TXleg will never allow it.
#PrimaryFromTheCenter #StrategicVoting would have the same effect - if people in Texas are smart enough to figure this out.
#Resist intelligently.
