Is it time to think beyond Ranked Choice Voting ?

#rankedchoice has great intentions, but other voting methods go farther to deliver on those goals!

In just the last couple of months we’ve had volunteers on the ground and in the field in OR, CA, OH, GA, UT, NY, and BC to name a few. We are so proud of and grateful for them!
