Rank choice voting is approved in many cities including New York. I think it is an excellent idea. Do you?

So if you like Elizabeth and Bernie you can choose one as a first choice and one as a second.  It helps.

    I voted for ranked voting.  It should save some money on special elections too.

    We have that system in Australia.
    It has many advantages for democracy, but it's not fool-proof and it can be rigged.
    If the USA adopts it, it will need to look at how it works in other countries and design a new system that prevents or at least minimises the effects of gerrymanders.

    I do not like it...leaves to many openings to protest results.

    Of COURSE you don't.  Trump would never be the first choice on anyone's ballot.  Except for that robot base.
