Ranked Choice Voting has polarized the voting reform movement for years and it's not over. As another wave of repeal and ban bills gear up, let's look back on the concerns raised that led RCV to be rejected in every state where it was on the ballot in 2024. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a6b...

YouTube video by The Equal Vote Coalition How Does STAR Voting Work?
