CT, we need ranked choice voting. It would help in towns like mine. And it would help independent parties.

The lesson from New York is we should all have ranked ballots. The people yearn to RANK. We want to RATE and SORT.

Making us choose between horrific and bad is the fault of the parties

Don't blame individuals for being given two horrible choices.

Only us in Alaska could use ranked-choice voting wish it was other places as well

Opinion: Ranked choice voting is the next step forward 'Ranked choice voting is a natural next step building on a series of thoughtful, nonpartisan reforms that have modernized and strengthened CT's elections'

Ranked Choice Voting is closer than ever to passing in Connecticut! With senate bill SB1536 we could make this a reality.

Sounds sort of like proportional representation. Which is used in this way in Germany's elections.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski describes how parties are using primaries to keep their members loyal to the party rather than letting them fight for their citizens.

Primaries can no longer be used as a threat with ranked choice voting.
