A short thread on Ranked-Choice Voting for all of my new followers.
You know how Democrats get really mad at Independents when they run because they split the vote, and Independents often sit home because they feel excluded? Not a thing here in federal races.

Our ballots look like this.
If someone gets 50%, they win.
If no one gets 50%, the candidate with the lowest # of votes is eliminated and there is an "instant run off" where their next choice candidate is awarded the vote.
This continues until someone gets 50%.

It's a great thing that lets us have a wider range of voices, more interesting debates, and candidates who get to take risks without those fight-inducing vote-splits.

It's constitutional.
It's a way to let us focus on what we bring instead of the best of bad choices.
You can support multiple candidates in a race, and candidates can show how they are a great fit for the #2 votes of the competition.
May we all get RCV.
