A bill has already been drafted for the Maryland 2019 legislature session, to let Montgomery County use either ranked choice voting or approval voting for its county officer elections. See this story. Thanks to Steve Goodale for the link.

How about Condorcet ??? — RCV done correctly
Very cool to see that it offers CHOICE, of RCV *or* Approval Voting. Ideally, it would just let counties adopt whatever system they choose, from Condorcet to Score Voting. But this is huge progress.
Unfortunately this is a bad trend, using RCV, Score, AppV…any “advanced” voting such as these guarantees a one-party system.
The damage is being done and these same people won’t take responsibility for the one-party system that they are implementing, rather leaving that to future struggles far worse than what exists under plurality voting in single winner districts.
Are you interested in the new unity phenomena that’s sweeping the earth known as pure proportional representation (PPR)?
The Herd/Ogle [Libertarian/One] for POTUS 2020 is bringing the new PPR Electoral College to the California Libertarian Party State Convention Executive Election on April 5th 2019 in Concord California.

On the other rotted hand —
exposure to RCV or AppV WILL help get attention to PR.
