How about a retweet @NCCER @CTEWorks @JohnKingatED ?
Fun!
.@Rob_Richie of Expand Democracy joined us today to discuss ranked choice voting. In 1992, he called into @cspan to ask Ross Perot about the same topic. Here he is reacting to the old call:
So far only 482k (6.6%) of Georgia voters have voted.
Both D’s and R’s have runoffs for Lt Gov (who presides over the Senate) & controls what will or won’t get considered to be the law in Georgia! SOS also!
Use your voice! Vote on Tuesday 6/16.
Thanks @GAChamber

🗳️ More than 1 million Georgians have already cast their ballots in the primary — but there’s still time to make your voice heard today.
Only 15% of Georgians voted in the last primary, helping shape the choices voters saw in November. This year, your vote can help decide what comes next.
Election Day is here. Polls are open until 7 PM. Visit mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/ to find your polling location.

Can confirm, the media is overreacting. Puerto Vallarta is doing great and is perfectly safe to travel to! Always be careful, but don’t let the media lie to you!

#RankedChoiceVoting rewards candidates who campaign positively for support from all voters.
In primaries from NYC to VA, RCV has helped both major parties pick strong nominees w/ broad support.
It can do the same in the 2028 presidential primaries.
Scoop: Democrats eye ranked-choice voting for 2028 primaries trib.al/wmq9Pne
Over 90% of congressional elections are over after the primaries (and this is before the current round of extreme gerrymandering that is occurring). This gerrymandering will result in primary elections mattering more & Nov votes mattering even less.
