Great new piece from Prof. @LarryDiamond on #RankedChoiceVoting for presidential primaries.
Prof. Diamond writes that ranked choice voting would “produce candidates who had honed the ability to forge compromises & craft broader appeals & coalitions.”

Congressional leaders just reintroduced the Fair Representation Act! 🎉
This is a bold plan to:
✅End partisan gerrymandering
✅Bring #RankedChoiceVoting to Congress
✅Create multi-member districts
Contact your representative & ask them to support the bill: actionbutton.nationbuilder.c…
A new bill in Congress would stop gerrymandering, and give voters more choice & more voice with #RankedChoiceVoting in US House & Senate elections.
Ask your members of Congress to support the Fair Representation Act at the link below, and read on to learn more. #FairRepAct 🧵

Only 5.1% of ballots were exhausted after 11 rounds!
I think we can completely put to bed the (frankly insulting and condescending) idea that voters somehow can’t understand how to do Ranked Choice Voting.

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 ⬇️

“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.”

Candidates in #RankedChoiceVoting elections often cross-endorse each other!
#RCV incentivizes collaboration + building coalitions – ultimately diminishing negative campaigning.

In February, Trayon White was expelled from the DC Council after being indicted on bribery charges.
Yesterday, he won back his seat w/ just 30% of the vote.
It’s a reminder of why 73% of DC voters just voted to adopt #RankedChoiceVoting for future elections. @AllVotesCountDC ⬇️

The DC Council voted 8-4 to fund ranked-choice voting after voters backed Initiative 83. Open primaries still await a vote.
Huge thanks to our DC volunteers for pushing these reforms forward! #WashingtonDC #RCV #ElectionReform

Runoff elections are expensive – costing #Georgia taxpayers millions each election cycle.
Follow our friends at @BetterBallotGa to learn how #RankedChoiceVoting (or instant runoff voting) can save taxpayers money and result in better elections!

Great piece from @PostOpinions calling for full funding of DC’s Initiative 83:
“#RankedChoiceVoting is much fairer… than letting anyone who can win a narrow plurality of the vote hold office. It’s also popular in places where it has been implemented.” washingtonpost.com/opinions/…
Ocean State RCV retweeted
#RankedChoiceVoting is "meant to encourage candidates to broaden their appeal... it also allows people to vote for their preferred candidate without worrying that they are voting for a spoiler."

“Americans want more choices and new voices. They want winners chosen by majorities, who are accountable to all of us... #RankedChoiceVoting is an important first step. What's happening right now in New York City is the proof.”

RCV is easy to use! 96% of New York City voters said ranked choice was easy to use, including 94% of every racial demographic. Thrilled to see it! fairvote.org/press/nyc-ranke…
