#rankedchoicevoting

@majorlinux@toot.majorshouse.com @quinn@social.circl.lu I'm talking about voting in them. Though running is also important. The list of challenges is long. We'd better start working. (My focus is on #RankedChoiceVoting, currently. One issue among many.)

IF NOTHING ELSE, the renewed #Platner controversy shines a huge spotlight on the NEED/BENEFITS of #RankedChoiceVoting / #InstantRunoffVoting. 🤔 #RCV #IRV

@gimulnautti@mastodon.green @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social you're being aspirational, and correct, but you're not announcing *how* to achieve that it's like going "arrest #Trump!" ok and? how? to get #rankedChoiceVoting, which is creeping in in the #USA, and would allow for stable viable 3rd parties... how? we have to elect #Democrats who support that (some do, some don't: vote in the #primaries people!) the #GOP has taken a blanket stand against #RCV nationally, so this is the only way forward

Great happy hour last night in Oak Park! We wrote letters to our electeds in support of State Sens. Laura Murphy's, Robert Peters', and David Koehler's SB2004, the #RankedChoiceVoting "local option" bill for Illinois! Contact your Sens. at tinyurl.com/RCV4Illinois ! Did you know? Oak Park, Illinois passed an #RCV referendum w/ 79% voting yes in Nov 2024? SB2004 is needed to quickly and smoothly implement the referendum in time for Oak Park's next municipal elections!

Great meeting about SB2004 with State Senator Laura Ellman of the 21st State Senate District (which covers much of Naperville, Lisle, Butterfield, Glen Ellyn, and Lombard)! Lots of positive energy around local RCV in our State Senate! We are working hard to add co-sponsors to SB2004 so that local IL municipalities can implement RCV referendums if they choose to do so! #RankedChoiceVoting #RCV #Democracy #Illinois #IllinoisPolitics
