What to watch on Super TuesdayTomorrow, voters in 17 states will vote in presidential primaries or caucuses, and at least some of those voters will cast “zombie votes.” In fact, some voters probably already have! Zombie votes occur when a voter casts a ballot for a candidate who has already dropped out – but whose name is still on the ballot. Three million Democratic primary voters cast zombie votes in 2020, and 700,000 Republicans did so in 2016. States and territories that use RCV for presidential primaries eliminate zombie votes. If a voter’s first choice drops out, their vote simply counts for their next choice! The Republican Party in the Virgin Islands held its primary with RCV just last month, and Maine will use RCV in its state-run primaries for both parties tomorrow. We’re also closely watching Burlington, Vermont, where voters will use RCV in a mayoral contest for the first time since they approved an RCV expansion in 2023. Four candidates are competing in the first open-seat mayoral race since 2012. Beyond RCV jurisdictions, FairVote is tracking several states that could see costly, delayed runoffs if candidates don't reach a certain threshold in tomorrow's primaries. And we’re following the U.S. Senate primary in California, where single-choice voting is creating questionable incentives for candidates. RCV would make all these races better.
