District of Columbia Voters Will Decide Whether to Implement Ranked Choice Voting

Initiative 83 has qualified for the ballot in the District of Columbia.  It would provide for ranked choice voting.  It would also provide that independent voters may choose any party’s primary ballot, although parties would continue to have their own primary ballots and their own nominees.

  1. @AZ,

    Condorcet done right does not require voters to rank all candidates. Voters should be assigned pairs of candidates. They can watch a Dewey-Stassen style debate and then vote for the candidate they prefer. A sample is statistically valid.

    There could be multiple rounds eliminating candidates with less support.

  2. There is no jungle primary or Top X feature. There will continue to be partisan primaries conducted on a semi-open basis where partisans may only vote in the primary of the party with which they are affiliated but unaffiliated voters will be able to receive the party primary ballot of their choice.

  3. 1970 and 71 was when Thomas W Jones was stalking James Hare and filing frivolous lawsuits against him. The electroshock might have had something to do with that.

  5. The acid trips triggered a mental break. Jones remembered surviving a botched attempted abortion and childhood abuse while tripping on acid. He never came down from that trip. That led to the electroshocks.

  6. Why did he turn his attention to stalking and harassing James Hare? Did the acid warp his brain that much?

  7. You’d have to survive a botched late term abortion, years of childhood abuse, and trip repeatedly on a notoriously bad batch of LSD, followed by electroshock treatments, to even begin to answer that question.
