      Our First Past the Post Winner Take All voting system is demonstrably the worst voting system. Any form of preference polling like Ranked Choice Voting (fairvote.org) is significantly better. No voting system is perfect, but the current one used in most of the US is the shittiest one on the market today.

      Any system like RCV opens the door to more parties and candidates who don’t 100% toe a party line. It also filters extreme position candidates out of primaries.

      We can do better.
