Zohran Mamdani’s Victory Shows the Progressive Promise of Ranked Choice Voting
The New York City primary proved that ranked choice voting can help build coalitions among parts of the left.

Austin voters approved ranked choice voting in 2021, but it probably violates state #law so it can't be implemented here. https://www.kxan.com/news/your-local-election-hq/austins-toyed-with-ranked-choice-for-years-why-the-system-recently-used-in-nyc-hasnt-been-used-here/

It means #RankedChoiceVoting is scary af for #VichyDemocrats who will do anything to keep their #Corporate sponsors happy & hire PIOs to spin it as a win for working people
#BloombergDems who have lost elections they could've won to placate #Clintonista donors
Time for a new direction

#RankedChoiceVoting fixes so much of what ails US democracy. Getting rid of the Spoiler Effect is a HUGE DEAL. https://infosec.exchange/@tinker/114746292947427234
Big reason why #CorporateDemocrats hate #RankedChoiceVoting
Let's get that EVERYWHERE!

I am a fully converted believer in ranked choice voting.
This short that follows the Portland Oregon city elections is a bit slanted in its view of Portland. The tropes are all there but the results speak for themselves.

Well this is awesome. #NYC #ZohranMamdani #RankedChoiceVoting
Hopefully the NYC mayor race increases support for #RankedChoiceVoting, but I don't think the way they do it is great. I'd rather have FFV RCV like they do in Alaska. Kill the overwhelming influencing of political parties.

There's a discussion of #RankedChoiceVoting at #MarginalRevolution : https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2025/06/the-effects-of-ranked-choice-voting-on-substantive-representation.html
It's spurred by a recent paper claiming, based on an analysis of (US?) city council elections, that RCV has small effects on outcomes.
(I'd like to read the paper to better understand the methodology and conclusions.)

"With Ranked Choice Voting in NYC, Women Win"
Before 2021, New York’s 51-member council had always been majority male. Women hadn’t even gotten close to a majority. The best showing had been 18 seats, just a tick above 35 percent.
That all changed with ranked choice voting (RCV). In 2021, voters elected not only a women-majority council but nearly doubled the previous high, with 31 seats.

New Yorkers: Wondering how Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) works? If you hate Candidate X, should you rank them last, or not at all? Here's a good guide:
https://www.salon.com/2025/06/21/how-ranked-choice-voting-will-shape-the-red-hot-nyc-mayoral-race/
TLDR: If you hate a candidate *don't rank them at all*. Take "1st choice, 2nd choice, etc." at face value. You don't have to rank 5; you can just do 1 or 2 if you like.

What is co-campaigning? Ranked choice voting leads to a phenomenon of candidates actually working together—rather than just attacking each other.

🎬 NEW 30-MIN CUT: The groundbreaking documentary Majority Rules tells the story of how ranked choice voting revolutionized Alaskan state politics—and how adopting it across the country might just save American democracy.

I’ll be curious to see just how this strategy turns out: “Under New York’s system of ranked-choice (instant runoff) voting, a voter ranks candidates in order of preference. As the bottom choices are dropped, votes get reallocated. Mamdani and Lander urged voters to rank one of them first and the other second, depending on whom they preferred, to maximize progressive voting power and defeat Cuomo.”
