Ranked-Choice Voting Gets A Prime-Time Shot Under New York City's Bright Lights

The method, in which voters are asked to rank candidates, has gained traction as a way to more accurately reflect the will of the majority. But detractors warn there are potential downsides, too.

Most districts elect using plurality. What does that even mean? It doesn't mean the majority.
Ever wonder what happens to mailed in primary ballots when a candidate drops out? Ballots cast for that candidate are wasted! With RCV, the voter's voice would still be heard via their next pick!
Tired of negative political campaigns? RCV leads to friendlier campaigning because candidates try to appeal to everyone -not just their base.
Congratulations to Burlington for voting YES on question 4 to use RCV for city council elections! betterballotburlington.org/
