Hi Neighbors,
The news this week confirms one thing for certain – our electoral process is broken. Nearly 50,000 early voters in Minnesota cast primary ballots for candidates who had dropped out of the race by Super Tuesday (effectively nullifying their votes), and our winner-takes-all system has devolved into a series of cut-throat contests that polarize candidates and discourage consensus-building.
Fortunately, there’s a solution. Rebuilding our democracy and restoring faith in government begins with improving our electoral system, and that’s why I’m igniting a conversation about Ranked Choice Voting (RCV).
