CNN has this comprehensive story about Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s attempts to get on the ballots across the nation.

CNN Fairly Lengthy Story on Kennedy Ballot Access Progress — 34 Comments
“It’s unclear if Kennedy would draw more support from Biden or Trump, but in a close race, a third-party candidate with substantial support has potential to tip the balance of the electoral map in unknown ways. In the 2020 election, Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin were all decided by margins of less than 1 percentage point. ”
And Pennsylvania, as well.
all of these states should authorize a run-off, or some form of alternative voting for this Presidential election.
APPV FOR ALL EXEC/JUDIC OFFICES -PENDING CONDORCET — RCV DONE RIGHT
The story about the dead worm in his brain is also worth reading.
It explains a lot, I’ll tell you what. It ate part of his brain and died there.
@Walter
Are states allowed to have runoffs for presidential elections? I guess they could do it a few weeks later and still meet the mid-December federal deadline. Also, don’t some states have runoff elections for state elections? At least Lousiana?
I’m glad the lady in the CNN article can now vote for Kennedy in Ohio.

@AC:
Georgia and Louisiana have run-offs for state offices; none for President. The important thing is that the electors are chosen before the December deadline, which could be tight, if a run-off state has a recount. (Altho, that would be unlikely, unless there is a close vote for 2nd and 3rd place.)
Maine has ranked choice voting for President.
For how blue Maine is, they have a surprisingly good electoral system in place. Ranked-choice voting AND split electoral votes. What’s next? Approval voting?
Also, CNN link. Firstly, ew icky gross. Secondly, what are the odds on them getting their facts straight on this.
Also also, is there anything to that RFK worm-brain story? I was given the impression that it had been made up and spread by the uniparty to sabotage him.
@AC,
In 1845, when Congress established the uniform election date for President, they provided for the contingency of the electors not being chosen in the initial election (due to a requirement of majority election). This provision was applied in 1848 in Massachusetts and 1860 in Georgia when no candidate received a majority of the popular vote. In both instances, the legislature chose the presidential electors.
Prior to the adoption of government-printed ballots, there would be no guarantee that a second, third, etc. trial would achieve a majority. Congressional elections that employed such a system of trials would sometimes result in nobody being elected for the entire term.
This provision which had been 3 USC $ 2 was repealed in 2022.
Ranked choice voting elects communists. It needs to be abolished.
No, it needs to be combined with approval voting: Drop the candidate with the lowest vote tally each round until either a single candidate is marked on at least 75% of the ballots, or there are only two candidates left for a run-off in the final round.
Alaska ended up with a communist for Congress because of RCV.
“Alaska ended up with a communist for Congress because of RCV”
The real problem in Alaska is NOT RCV, but the fact that under top-4 voting, the parties have no control over who runs on their label, such that two Republicans ran against each other.
I starved to death.
“No, it needs to be combined with approval voting:”
Approval voting would be better in crowded primaries, not the general election.
Approval voting would be better in the dustbin of history, along with rancid commie voting and everything else of that nature.
@Dave,
Don Young was a communist. That is why his family supported Mary Peltola.
Sarah Palin quit her job as governor. A real Republican would not have done that.
What’s the matter? Angry that you can’t wrap your head around anything more democratic than the popular vote or the winner-takes-all system? Next you’re gonna dismiss direct democracy for giving putting too much power back in the hands of the individual.
Nunya self reveals as a communist. Hi troll.
Sarah Palin is awesome. She’s like Trump with Ta Tas.
I also fully support the PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC of Donetsk and the PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC Luhansk. I guess that’s also evidence of my alleged communism. Everyone who opposes nazism is a communist, so proclaimeth the fake-“christian” “unity” nazional troll, therefore it must be true. XD
You support “direct democracy,” ie Bolshevism, and pro vote fraud systems like approval voting and rancid commie voting which elect communists. Lots of communists support the Russian side. They wave communist flags alongside modern Russian flags at US “antiwar” rallies I’ve been to, such as Rage Against the War Machine.
Not everyone who opposes national socialism is a communist, but communists do oppose national socialism. You are a communist and a troll.
As for me: national conservative, Christian, national capitalist, anticommunist, antidemocracy, antibolshevik, antinazi, antiliberal, antisocialist.
Lol

Nunya was there?
No, or he would know how the locals on the Russian side in the 21st century pronounce Lugansk. But I’m sure the troll was there in spirit.
Maybe in the Sparta or Somali brigades they pronounce it Luhansk?
How do they pronounce it in the Russich brigade? Maybe the nunya thinks it’s luhansk due to because she served with them? Roma, kak dumayesh, chesno?

Yeah, just saw that. Eccchh! Wonder where he was swimming? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ycs6t8WKvrM
It’s pronounced Go-a-oold.
