Ranked Choice Ballot Initiative

[writerkit]

Apparently MA has joined the 21st century and is allowing online ballot petitions. They're petitioning to get ranked choice voting onto the ballot as a ballot question.

This ballot question sadly doesn't implement it for presidential elections, but using it *anywhere* and proving that it works is a first step, and Maine's already got it running. (We led the nation in gay marriage; let's lead the nation in this too!) If you're an MA voter, you can sign it here:

Yeah, I really like this one. (I signed it a day or two ago.) There's every reason to believe that ranked choice voting would have positive effects on the outcomes of elections, so I'd love to see this movement continue to gather steam...
