"the ballot initiative would violate the city’s Human Rights Act because it would discriminate against Black and low-income voters who could be confused by ranked choice voting."
It sounds pretty discriminatory saying that they’re too dumb to list the candidates they want in order. It’s not a difficult premise.
They've used it all over the country for years. Minnesota and Alaska that I know of, probably other places.
I wish it was all of Minnesota, looks to be just a few cities.
Yep, liberals have a way of saying super racist stuff without actually saying the n-word directly.
But they are absolutely screaming it in the heads and behind closed doors
Dessalines shouldn't have stopped at Port Au Prince.
These scum really trying to pretend that anyone who didn't graduate from an ivy has never made a list of anything in order of preference before
Once again, Republicans fear their voters, Democrats despise their voters
The democrats love the two party system. They don't care that each election cycle is a game of chicken with a literal fascist party, so long as they don't need to deliver on real economic reforms for the people in order to win reelection.
A lot of people new to the concept of paying attention are shocked by that
Gotta remember the millions of people who will be able to vote for the first time next year were like 10 when the first Bernie ratfucking happened and 14 when the second Bernie ratfucking happened
This is really anti-democratic. RCV would open them to competition from other parties
Anything resembling small d democracy challenges their power. Ranked choice is probably the worst for them since it means voters don't have to "vote blue no matter who" or risk splitting the vote. It's a huge blow to "choose our evil because it's lessor" politics.
These are the same jackasses that tell everyone to learn to code.
I made a small edit. So close yet so far away...
DCDems don’t want voters to interfere with their machinePrecisely. DC Dems are all Federal Dems. It's asinine to try to qualify their location as being DC only. It's almost like the news corporations think we're dumb enough to fall for that.
Arlington County Board decided not to use ranked choice voting for November’s general election over concerns that some Black and Latino voters had been confused about how to vote and how votes would ultimately be counted
Those dumb Mexicans are too stoopid to read the instructions!
I agree with opposing open primaries. It encourages voters for the incumbents party to vote in the oppositions primary, which can mean Republican voting for the conservative Democrat and swaying the election.
RCV is good, though.
