Welcome to the Ranked Choice Voting Community!

Voting is broken! Let's fix it.

Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) is a voting system in which voters rank candidates by preference on their ballots. If a candidate wins a majority of first-preference votes, they are declared the winner. If no candidate wins a majority, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and votes for that candidate are redistributed to the remaining candidates, based on the next preference on each ballot. This process continues until one candidate has a majority. Learn more about how it works.

Why Ranked Choice Voting?

Here you go, here's an olive branch to the "both sides" people. It sounds like, in Nevada, you are correct.

Corporations and the ultra wealthy are buying votes through lobbying and it's perfectly legal. Our system is corrupt but they don't need to hide it. There's no need to pretend that politicians represent their constituents.

Last time it was this bad, the 17th Amendment was added. Sure would be nice if they could think of a new amendment to address the modern take on the problem. It's hard enough for the idiots in congress to pass basic money bills, so I don't really expect anything to happen. I hope I'm surprised.
