I wish but not happening in a million years.
Both sides love it because it means they don't actually have to make improvements to win over their base.
Maine and Alaska have implemented it, if memory serves.
Shh, silly facts! Almost like the youth trying to turn things around shouldnt be impeded right as theyre trying to come into power.
Multiple states have begun implementing ranked choice and more are exploring it. Obviously it will not be in time for the 2024 election but “not in a million years?” We could see it within the next decade in more states than not tbh.
Fascinating! I am filled with hope for the future.
I’ve always been in favor of ranked choice + district based voting. That would force us to more directly address gerrymandering as well as be more palatable to folks against going full popular while still being more representative of the people’s vote.
Then you should probably vote for the party that will allow you to get rid of FpTP? Right?
Because you obviously aren't aware that the #fascist #GOP has already banned RCV in 5 states.
I mean, of the two states that actually have approved RCV for the presidential race, one is Dem and one is Republican. Republicans are actually one of the largest users of RCV, there's a number of states where they use it for their primaries. They may be the most outwardly hostile to it, but let's not pretend that Democrats are championing RCV.
Multiple Democratic state parties and advocacy groups endorse Ranked Choice Voting, so shut the hell up with the both sides nonsense.
Multiple Democratic state parties also oppose it. The DC Democratic party for example voted against RCV last year, and that's not an isolated case.

I think that's an oversimplification. If they're championing RCV, they're doing a really lame job of it.
