Couldn’t agree more with Colin King regarding the merits of using ranked choice voting (RCV) in Rhode Island [Ranked-Choice Voting Would Improve Democracy in Providence – and Across Rhode Island.] One of the greatest upsides of RCV is its built-in commitment to majority rule, a cornerstone principle of our democracy. As a nation, as we push back hard on efforts to suppress voter turnout, and until we do a better job of eliminating dark money and partisan gerrymandering, RCV is an easy and straightforward bipartisan voting reform we can readily implement at the local level and benefit from in time for the 2028 electoral season.
