USA Today Carries Lawrence Lessig, Advocating Ranked Choice Voting for Presidential Elections — 17 Comments

  1. Just enough math MORONS in the wrong times/places ???

    See earlier posts about RCV defects–

    Stalin-Washington-Hitler example.


    PR – APPV- TSOP

  2. Better yet would be to have single presidential elector districts and have the presidential elector candidates themselves on the ballots campaigning for admission to the college. In this way, independent and minor party candidates could more easily secure ballot access.

  3. The United Coalition USA has been using one at-large USA ballot for the 538 Electors of the Elector College under pure proportional representation (PPR) and we’re nominating names for the PPR Electoral College now.

    We welcome all candidates as Electors, affiliation from all parties and independents, and the election for the team takes place on Earth Day 2020 in Monterey, California, USA, North America, Earth.

    We’ve been doing it right since 1996. In 1997 Google tried to copy our work but they did it wrong, only cementing the two-party system.

    Not like the old plurality voting used by Green and Libertarians Jill Stein and Gary Johnson, instead individuals on the Electoral College are from all parties and independents of who your name may be one.

    We’ve been collaborating for more than twenty-three consecutive years and this works fine. The establishment party bosses have always been unable to bring unity, thinking and acting as one, but our team has been perfect. Every vote factored under PPR to perfection while protecting individual Electors’ liberty to self-categirize as they wish.

    Not lip service but true liberty, in the only national two-member district election, President and Vice President of the USA.

  4. Lessig is calling for the one-party system like the one in SF, Oakland and Maine, that the SF Libertarians and COFOE staunchly support.

    They need to be held accountable because America is a melting pot, most Americans oppose one-party rule, but when our team brings the unity, when our team brings victory, the party bosses pretend like they never heard about it and they aren’t interested.

    When Google launched off our back in 1997, they want you to believe that we are liars, but our team made them a multi-billion dollar gateway.

    Search Joogle: “How google got their name”, Google doesn’t respect our team.

  5. “The United Coalition is using the court of opinion for our justice.” – ogle
    Man, he’s going to be disappointed when he hears about the French Revolution

  6. JB — second post above

    1/2 or less votes x 1/2 gerrymander areas = 1/4 or less CONTROL –

    ROT carried into Am-Brit colonies in 1600s — into States 1775-1786.

    Nonpartisan AppV for exec/judic offices – pending Condorcet.

  7. Sergey Brin asked “What is a joogle?” in my conversation in 1997. I began in Usenet in 1992 but Usenet became obsolete, while at the time represented one at-large world conversation.

    My topic helped change the internet psychology from that of violent revolution to one of peaceful revolution, in Usenet the talk of violent revolution in the USA lost favor.

    Now the California Green Party is finally starting to strive to use pure proportional representation (PPR) correctly but that’s 28 years later.

    The Libertarian Party has best ballot access but their internal voting system brings them dysfunction and continued self-destruction.

    The solution is the unity of the Libertarian and Green Parties for President and Vice President and the United Coalition USA has been bringing the correct solution to the best of our abilities and winning the Missouri primary in 2012 was one example of our work.

    The nomination of names for the PPR Electoral College is the correct path, those nominations are the team on which national unity is being built for 2020.

    Teamwork requires collaboration from every person on the team, the more decentralised the better, as we move forward with one plan which features overwhelming superior firepower.

    The lone female Libertarian candidate, attorney and band leader Heather Horst of Omaha is our chance to unite the Libertarian and Green Parties under the new PPR Electoral College.

    The plan is for us men to build the machine and when she finally sits in the driver’s seat we are already unified with all parties and independents.

    Frankly speaking I cannot envision playing a strong role because I am just a street artist with very low income.

    Unless the team can somehow suddenly become more aware about doing a better job uniting and supporting the two key people then the outcome is predictable. So far we aren’t doing a good enough job.

    The article by Lessig is not helpful at all and he is the wrong gender for our plans. We need to get commentary about the United Coalition USA on which we have the solid vote-counting in place based in Central California.

    We will be conducting the 1st Central California Mini-state Parliament Election of 2019 on Earth Day next April in Monterey and that’s the only goal and only path.

  8. One good point about the Electoral College is that it allows each state to choose its electors by any method that they choose. Plurality, District, Ranked Choice, Approval, Range or Proportional voting could all be tried out in any state at any time without restriction from the federal government

  9. With RCV, What if a voter does not want to provide other choices. There is still the possibility of a winner with less than 50% approval. We need “NONE OF THE ABOVE” as valid ballot options.

    Another obvious option –

    NO majority for exec/judic office >>> PR legis body fill vacancy.

  11. When liberals lose an election, it’s illegitimate by definition, in their world. They cannot accept that the peons didn’t vote the way we were told in 2016, so they are trying anything they can think of to make sure we don’t get away with it again.

  12. Tim –

    Simple communist solution –

    have only communist robot HACKS on ballots – NO write-ins.

    See ex/dead 1922-1991 USSR regime — giant pensions for the last USSR robot hacks ???

    How many of such robot HACKS got killed off by Stalin in 1927-1953 ???
