Last month, the Chicago Board of Elections polled Chicago residents about ranked choice voting. 71% of respondents supported implementing RCV for Chicago elections! Did you know: We're lobbying City Council to put a binding ranked choice voting referendum on Chicago's ballot in April 2026? Let's get more choices, Chicago!

If I am a #SingleIssueVoter it is for #Transparency, so we can #Democratically evaluate the impact of elections and legislation. But I think #RankedChoiceVoting could go a long way to keeping the worst people out of the Oval.

Do you want to improve democracy in the US?
In Michigan, the swingiest of swing states, this volunteer group is working to enact ranked choice voting. It will give voters more choices and help politicians be more accountable to voters.
They are a grassroots effort and could use our help. Printing petitions, lawyers for legal review, and even postage is expensive!
Please donate if you can.

I'm gonna try to create a new term: "GTH candidate". A GTH candidate is one who we're blackmailed into voting for even when another candidate is our first choice, because the party convinces us our candidate is a "spoiler". GTH stands for "gun-to-head". I'm sick of it. #RankedChoiceVoting
Skokie just passed ranked choice voting this April. Hear Skokie resident and local advocate James Johnson explain some of its benefits!

A discussion about making lefty change in America. With the Dems or without them etc. I liked a lot of what #VivekChibber said, especially about using the Dems to break open the system to make other options more viable like #RankedChoiceVoting. But I don't see them letting that happen. #BadFaithPod
I still think we must focus on the "attention being controlled by the wealthy" problem. It's true in the mainstream but now also via corporate algos on social media.
Do you like democracy and beer? Come to New Helvetia in #Sacramento on May 1 and help the ProRep Coalition and Better Ballot Sacramento build stronger democracy in #California!

It really always comes down to "money", and as long as we allow money to drive our politics, nothing will ever change.
We can't (however) simply say "No private funding of elections". Does every bad candidate get as much funding as everyone else?
THE FIRST THING is to make #RankedChoiceVoting the law of the land (not just elections, but even in Congress.)
This would greatly mitigate the influence of BigMoney in politics, No more spoilers, and END the 2-party system.
RSVP at FairVoteIllinois.org/events to join our Statewide Meeting this Thursday! We'll discuss the win in Skokie, our current focus cities, the statewide bill, and some federal RCV work. Join our April meeting to see how you can help move RCV forward.
Photos from the Hands Off rally in Chicago yesterday. We spoke with politically engaged Chicagoans about how we're working to bring ranked choice voting to this city!

"Five states have banned #rankedChoiceVoting in the last two months, bringing the total number of #Republican-leaning states now prohibiting the voting method to 10"
we want 3rd parties
we want to vote our conscience rather than endless dreary strategy
we want #RCV
which we get how
by voting #democrat, and pushing them on the issue
rather than doing nothing but whining
