Ranked choice voting

That makes zero sense.

That makes zero sense.

I know

Ranked choice voting is awesome. Would love it here

You don't have to vote "for the lesser evil" as your number 1

As an example, I could vote Jill stein 1, Harris 2, etc

But how is it counted?
Would you need (6) 6th choice votes to be the same as (1) 1st choice vote?

That feels overly complicated. The people in Florida can't even fill in a single box - lmao @ there being 6.

I'm glad you like it but I think it's all kinds of retarded.

No it's not, 1 person 1 vote, not 6.

Yeah, they keep going through the choices and tallying till there is a majority winner.

Election Day Observance - I like watching the local news because it's all hands on deck and you get to see the hot chicks that are up and coming. You can see the jealousy in the established, older female anchors when they get a report from some hot young babe in a revealing skin-tight dress. They know their days are numbered.

Lol perfect. Going to be a long fun night.

Sounds like NCAA Heisman voting where people vote for a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place player.

My assumption is that most people just pick 1 person and strike it across the board like you did.

Conservatives yes, liberals, they love it.

Does every state give out stickers? How many tax dollars are wasted on these things?

Doing it that way is like filling out your number 1 and leaving the rest blank lol

A fisherman left a backpack near a voting area in an eastern Cincy town. There are like 15 emergency vehicles and they have closed down the voting while they decide whether it's a bomb or fishing gear.

Trump sizeable lead evaporates

actually he is now a -175 favorite

Could just be to balance the books or bookies might know something

 

[Rambo John J]

More interesting is when the first mail-in ballots arrive

Weeks ago, at least mine did

 

[Rambo John J]

Ranked choice voting in Maine, if your state is pushing for this shit vote against it

what are the negatives of it?

and yes Oregon had it on the ballot this year

[mysticmac]

NH results: 3 votes for Trump, 3 votes for Harris.

This is a tight race.

And then you end up with increasingly progressive candidates forever and someone's personal opinion becomes worthless.
