Hi John,

The latest news in the soap opera saga of the 2024 presidential race is
that [ [link removed] ]Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has suspended his campaign and is endorsing
Donald Trump for president. We don't know how that will affect Trump's
chances of election, but we do know it highlights one of the major
challenges of our binary election system. 

Currently, in most states (with the notable exceptions of Maine and
Alaska), you vote for one candidate and one candidate only. If your
candidate wins, great. If your candidate loses, too bad, so sad. And if
you don't like either candidate? Ah well, nothing to be done. Have fun
picking the lesser of two evils. This is the downside of our two-party
system. 

But systems can be changed. With [ [link removed] ]Ranked Choice Voting (RCV), voters
rank candidates from favorite to least favorite on the ballot. If your top
candidate does not win, your vote can still count toward your second
preference. That means there are no "wasted votes," and you don't have to
vote for the lesser of two evils.

[ [link removed] ]Flow chart of how Ranked Choice Voting Works. First, multiple
candidates file for a seat. Voters rank candidates in order of preference.
Votes are tabulated. If someone gets more than 50% of the vote, they win.
If not, candidates with the fewest votes are eliminated and supporters'
next choice votes are distributed to remaining candidates.

RCV is on the ballot in four states and Washington, D.C. It's a
game-changer for our elections, and [ [link removed] ]you can help get it passed.
