👋 Aussie living in NYC here. We have had ranked choice voting in Australia for over 100 years. Pro-tip: To maximize the power of your vote, rank FIVE candidates, not just one or two. This is the best way to block a candidate you don’t want to win & doesn’t harm your 1st choice.
I truly wish people could understand these concepts.
