"The DC Council took an important step by funding the #RankedChoiceVoting portion of Initiative 83. That is a victory worth celebrating. Yet our work is not finished. [The Council must fund] opening primary elections to independent voters like me." – @LisaDTRice @AllVotesCountDC
OPINION: "Failing to fund semi-open primaries during this budget cycle will leave voters feeling disenfranchised and disaffected when our democracy is most fragile," writes Lisa Rice. 51st.news/opinion-respec…
Since 1992, the median turnout decline for Georgia's statewide runoffs has been 44%. Georgians deserve better than high-cost, low-turnout runoffs. #RankedChoiceVoting is a better, faster, cheaper alternative to runoffs. fairvote.org/georgia-runoff…
“The real takeaway from NYC's #RankedChoiceVoting primaries isn’t what it means for the Dems, GOP, or midterms. It’s that better elections can empower voters to choose candidates who are accountable to them.” – FairVote's @MeredithSumpter in @fulcrum_us thefulcrum.us/electoral-refo…
In NYC's primaries, #RankedChoiceVoting gave voters the best of all worlds: A more positive campaign where candidates must reach beyond a small base to win. It's a model for what better elections can look like. See why in my new op-ed for @fulcrum_us ⬇️ thefulcrum.us/electoral-refo…
Washington, DC is smart to move to #RankedChoiceVoting – which will give voters more choices and ensure its leaders have majority support. More cities and states should follow its lead. @AllVotesCountDC fairvote.org/indicted-washi…

Single-choice elections are "a zero-sum game – fewer votes for everyone else means more votes for me. Being nice to a competitor isn't a winning strategy. But in a #RankedChoiceVoting election, it is.” @IsmarVolic in @WBUR on how RCV detoxifies politics. wbur.org/cognoscenti/20…

#RankedChoiceVoting in NYC is “creating positive campaigning, giving voters more voice, ensuring similar candidates don’t split the vote, and… it’s saving money.” – @DebTheOtis Thanks @ArenaSummit & Forum NYC for hosting this great panel on RCV in NYC!
