‘It's a very dangerous strategy’: The controversial tactic super PACs used to boost Democrats this year Outside groups spent millions helping third-party candidates siphon votes from Republicans, a move that eased the path to victory for some Democrats.

Maybe this gets the average Republican to like #RankedChoiceVoting more.

Dem super pacs just spent millions to siphon R voters to Libertarian and other 3rd parties.

RCV neutralizes this tactic for either party, as 3rd party voters rank D or R as 2nd choice.

In that 5-10% of elections where a first-round winner gets passed in the stretch for the win, it means they lacked broad support of 2nd or 3rd place choices of other candidates. When it happens, it's nothing more than the wisdom of majority rule.

Early ranked-choice voting leaders won in Portland The final count shows initial frontrunners were likely to win the race altogether.

Critics of #RankedChoiceVoting should realize that more than 90% of the time, the first round winner gains support and wins a majority. Portland OR just held 10 RCV elections, and for 9, the first round leaders won, and in the 10th, the 1st round was nearly tied.

“Powered by Native Voters, Ranked-Choice Voting and Open Primaries Survive in Alaska” electionlawblog.org?p=147454

Two House Dems from very competitive districts - Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and Jared Golden - are looking at electoral reforms, including #RankedChoiceVoting.

From Michelle Goldberg NYT column today.

Alaska has just completed counting, and voters have KEPT #RankedChoiceVoting and non-partisan open primaries.

It was ridiculously close. 664 votes out of 340,000. Just 0.2%.
