Santa Fe Faces Lawsuit Over Failure to Implement Ranked Choice Voting — 2 Comments

  1. Bit longer term —

    Condorcet head to head math (around since the 1780s — repeat 1780s).

  2. FairVote’s single-winner district IRV is liked by the status quo because only the biggest civic group/party can reach the required minimum 50% (plus one vote) but all others get nothing.

    It’s winner-takes-all on steroids.

    Are you interested in a unifying voting system that all parties and independents support known as pure proportional representation?

    The 10th USA Parliament ha been using pure proportional representation for more than twenty-two consecutive years and it works fine.

    Join the unity phenomena that’s sweeping the globe.

    Nobody has it better than the United Coalition of Candidates and the Unit Platform.
