Well, we need to get it passed first. So, we encourage everyone to call their legislators and tell them that they support instant runoff voting!

Thanks so much! We appreciate the call out!
Proportional ranked choice voting (aka single transferable vote) combined with larger districts would end gerrymandering and actually result in fair representation. Ireland has been doing it for a century and some cities in the US use it as well.

A win for everyone Editor,

I believe that it is time to move our elections to an Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) election system."

"...our system is inherently broken by allowing individuals to be elected to serve on council without winning a majority... as a two-time candidate for Walhalla City Council who ran on a conservative platform,

Yes! We want better representation than what these gerrymandered districts give us.

Exit Surveys: Voters Love Ranked Choice Voting - FairVote This short document collects exit poll results from ranked choice voting jurisdictions across the country. Ranked choice voting polls find that voters like and understand RCV.

It does count for your candidate. It gives your ballot and your choices more power because you have back up choices.
Also, numerous exit polls have shown that voters understand it.

Why?

I'm curious. Ranked choice voting doesn't favor a political ideology. What do you not like about it?

#MoreChoiceMoreVoice

Better Ballot SC opposed closing the primaries because it leads to further polarization and disenfranchises independents who have to help foot the bill with their tax dollars. We support #MoreChoiceMoreVoice for voters, not less. Watch for more:https://youtube.com/shorts/9CoYriAx3RY

Commentary: Let GOP voters decide the future of SC primaries SC House Republican leaders say it's premature to close primaries since voters want to keep them open and even GOP leaders can't agree on a plan to close them.

🧵
A "civil war" has erupted between Republicans in SC over closing the primaries (right now, SC voters can choose which primary they would like to vote in). Watch for an update on the fate of these contentious bills.
