Ranked choice voting honors the foundational principles of representative democracy. And with widespread efforts to suppress the vote, we must act at every level of govt to empower the electorate. TY @Ruthzee, @juliaforboston & @ClrHenrySantana for leading the charge in Boston.

How many columns has David Masciotra written calling for Ranked Choice Voting for presidential elections? As far as I can tell, zero. All this energy expended to blame candidates and not an ounce for fixing the system.

I’m extremely glad to see ranked choice voting expanding to Nevada, with proposals for it becoming more and more common across the country. RCV is the way forward — a way of letting us vote for who we want, rather than just voting against who we don’t. It makes us all better off.

UPDATE: Question 3 passes! Together, Nevadans decided it was time to change our antiquated system and begin the process of bringing more choice and more voice to all voters! #YESon3NV

Great read by @dscharfGlobe of @BostonGlobe. "We have the resources and creativity to conjure a new model. To change the machinery of elections and government. To build a more open, creative politics." He points to #RankedChoiceVoting as one way to improve our democracy.

Reporting out of Westbrook: 63% of residents voted to expand #RankedChoiceVoting to municipal elections, including Mayoral, City Council, and School Committee races. The percentage of voters in favor is higher than in 2016 and 2018 state referendums. 👏👏👏 #mepolitics
