Do you want to promote a common-sense upgrade to our democracy with your neighbors? Canvass for #RankedChoiceVoting! We talk directly with voters every weekend to build awareness about this important voting reform. Join us!
and the #GOP has noticed:
https://www.npr.org/2024/06/05/nx-s1-4969563/ranked-choice-voting-bans
the GOP wins by disenfranchising voters, not by offering them more choices
therefore, the only way forward to #rankedchoicevoting in the #USA, which means stable #thirdparties and the ability to vote our conscience instead of dreary strategy, is to #vote for #democrats who support #RCV
What would the Illinois Secretary of State's Illinois State Flag Contest have looked like if it used #RankedChoiceVoting? Voters would have been able to choose their first choice, second choice, third, and so on. RCV requires that the winner must get >50% of the vote. Instead, the plurality voting system that was used resulted in a winner with only 43% of the vote—not a true majority.

Coming soon: We will post our full Chicago presentation, showing where we are at in the process of getting RCV for the city!
A big article in the #CascadiaDaily about the recent Whatcom County charter review meeting about #RankedChoiceVoting. It was really a fascinating meeting with four invited guests who are #RCV experts from around the country. Well worth watching the video of the meeting (linked at the end of the article) https://www.cascadiadaily.com/2025/may/14/ranked-choice-voting-considered-in-whatcom-but-it-would-cost-auditor-says/
This is exciting. Folks in #venturacounty are gathering signatures to bring ranked choice AND PROPORTIONAL ranked choice voting to their local elections.
Awareness of #proportionalrepresentation is growing in the U.S. right along with frustration about our polarized calcified dysfunctional politics.
I think we're going to see more local governments adopting proportional representation (Albany CA already has it for their city council election. Portland OR just adopted it.) Then the state level (that's where ProRep comes in!) Then the U.S. (Fair Representation Act). Then the WORLD HA HA HA HA HA!
Just kidding most of the world already uses PR for their elections.
URGENT ACTION ITEM!: Visit TinyURL.com/SupportSB2004 or click the in bio to send a pre-written message to your State Senator asking them to support SB2004 to explicitly allow ranked choice voting in local elections in Illinois!
Take 60 secs to contact your Senator to support RCV in IL! 3 cities have passed legally binding RCV referenda in IL, but the State must act NOW before the legislative session ends to ensure that they are implemented.
Last month, the Chicago Board of Elections polled Chicago residents about ranked choice voting. 71% of respondents supported implementing RCV for Chicago elections! Did you know: We're lobbying City Council to put a binding ranked choice voting referendum on Chicago's ballot in April 2026? Let's get more choices, Chicago!

Do you want to improve democracy in the US?
In Michigan, the swingiest of swing states, this volunteer group is working to enact ranked choice voting. It will give voters more choices and help politicians be more accountable to voters.
They are a grassroots effort and could use our help. Printing petitions, lawyers for legal review, and even postage is expensive!

"Five states have banned #rankedChoiceVoting in the last two months, bringing the total number of #Republican-leaning states now prohibiting the voting method to 10"
we want 3rd parties
we want to vote our conscience rather than endless dreary strategy
we want #RCV
which we get how
by voting #democrat, and pushing them on the issue
rather than doing nothing but whining
@the5thColumnist @grumble209 @GutterPoetry @todymotmot @wendinoakland @profdc9 @zakalwe
it does
with the caveat #canada has #parliamentary #democracy, which lends some stability to 3rd parties, while the #usa #fptp nonparliamentary system means 3rd parties can never be stable
#australia meanwhile is laughing at both the usa and canada, since they have parliamentary *and* #rankedchoicevoting #rcv (what they call preferential voting)
“This is ridiculous”: Ranked choice voting is the greatest step forward in U.S. elections since the Australian ballot. (Google it.) But #RCV comes with a downside. You mark your first, second, third, etc. choices … and then wait to see who won. And wait. And wait. Will we learn the results of Tuesday’s Oakland CA mayor’s race … by Friday evening? Or will it take weeks longer? https://www.sfchronicle.com/eastbay/article/oakland-mayor-race-when-results-20279186.php

Hey #democraticparty, if you want to help your constituents and ensure their voices are heard, consider using ranked-choice voting in the primaries. It helps select the best candidate and makes it easier to win the general election. Free tip if you want to win back the people.
Hey #WashingtonState voters, we have one more day to get the #RankedChoiceVoting bill out of committee in the state legislature. Please take a moment to call the Legislative Hotline at (800) 562-6000 and register your support for the Washington VOICES Act, HB 1448!
Here's a link to the bill: https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=1448&Year=2025
And here is FairVote Washington's one-pager: https://fairvotewa.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FairVote-WA_Washington-VOICES-Act_012225.pdf
that's exactly what has to happen
now the #left must devour the #Democrats
only then can we get movement on things like #rankedChoiceVoting #rcv where we get viable third parties
with ranked choice and stable third parties we get to vote our conscience free and clear for once in this damn country
rather than this endless insipid need for strategy in #fptp voting, compromising to #centrist bullshit that saps the will and the passion
Chicago: Ranked choice voting would make our elections more efficient and give voters more choices at the polls. Visit fairvoteillinois.org to learn more!
Chicago: Want a more representative Mayor and City Council? Ranked choice voting gives voters more choices by allowing us to rank candidates in order of preference rather than being forced to pick just one.
Sign our petition today at fairvoteillinois.org/petition!
Dozens of cities have already adopted ranked choice voting, including major metros like New York City, San Francisco, Oakland, and Portland. Chicago should be next.
We don’t have a hearing date for this one yet but NH HB600 is for Ranked Choice Voting.
I know that the dems hate the idea of ranked choice voting because then independent parties have a chance, but this is exactly why we need #RCV
