Ranked Choice Voting

### What is ranked choice voting? This [article](https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/what-is-ranked-choice-voting) is a great overview. ### What's happening in my state? The same [article](https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/what-is-ranked-choice-voting) lists some things, and [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranked-choice_voting_in_the_United_States) has more details. Here's what on the ballot this year: * **Alaska is voting to repeal RCV** * **Arizona is voting on a [proposition](https://ballotpedia.org/Arizona_Proposition_140,_Single_Primary_for_All_Candidates_and_Possible_RCV_General_Election_Initiative_(2024)) for non-partisan primaries and RCV** * **Colorado is voting on using RCV** * Connecticut is evaluating RCV for legislation in 2025 * **District of Columbia is voting on using RCV** * **Idaho is voting on using RCV** * Missouri is voting on banning RCV altogether * Montana is voting on a [proposition](https://www.krtv.com/news/montana-politics/what-are-montana-constitutional-initiatives-126-and-127) for non-partisan primaries * **Nevada is voting on using RCV for federal and state elections** * **Oregon is voting on using RCV for federal and state elections** * South Dakota is voting on non-partisan top 2 primaries * Texas has a [group](https://www.commoncause.org/texas/issues/ranked-choice-voting/) working on ranked choice voting [Register to vote](https://www.vote.org/), check your registration, make sure you're in a position to fix voting. It's important. It's not as far away as you think.

I have a Google Alert set up for RCV, and I just want to give a small sample of what comes in through it, along with obviously some opinion in favor of it and some news which I sometimes post. This is *all* from today: **Ranked-choice voting would mark the end of person-to-person democracy** -[The Gazette](https://gazette.com/election-coverage/ranked-choice-voting-would-mark-the-end-of-person-to-person-democracy-vince-bzdek/article_397dc8c0-8cab-11ef-903b-2b8a259cd189.html) (no gazette in particular, just The Gazette) **Think your ballot was cumbersome this year?
