Maine's Ranked Choice Voting Initiative

Post by ieatbacon »

This may be the most important vote this November.

If it passes in Maine, and gains traction in other states, it has the potential of disrupting the two-party system. It would remove the "you're throwing away your vote" argument that prevents third parties from having a real chance in national elections. In this system, voters can rank both the "best" candidate and their "lesser of two evils".
