    Or more accurately, another governor won’t be elected with a minority of the vote.

    Ranked-choice voting just makes so much sense. It should be implemented nationally at every level of government.

    I agree, and I think that spreading state-by-state, the way that gay marriage and pot spread, is the best way to get it on a national level. Washington isn’t going to change the law and expand voters’ choices unless they are forced to, and they won’t be forced to until Americans realize ranked voting is a better system.

    Why does progress have to be so bloody slow?

    Well, it will upset the status quo so Washington will probably be against it and spread some BS propaganda about it like they do for the electoral college and how it makes sure the entire country is represented equally…blah, blah, blech
