- As New York voters cast their ballots in the city’s primary elections this year, they’ll have the option of ranking five candidates instead of choosing just one. It’s called ranked-choice voting, and its advocates say it promises to improve democracy as we know it.
In a traditional voting system, voters select just one candidate. With ranked-choice voting, they rank candidates in order of preference. Here's a closer look at how it works. Read more: wapo.st/2SMP9z6. Subscribe to The Washington Post on CZcams: wapo.st/2QOdcqK

Ranked Voting ✅:
-Would make gerrymandering exceedingly difficult. Because nothing is absolute.
-Give Third parties a chance.(giving more voting options.)
-Eliminates winning presidency by default because split voting.
-There would be no such thing of "throwing away a vote."
-No more run off elections that cost money and everyone's time.
I can’t wait till rank voting is nation wide. Finally some progress is being made to our voting system.
WE NEED RANKED CHOICE VOTING. A change to this broken government starts with ranked choice voting.
Sadly Captain - RCV has been banned on some states, on a statewide and all municipal elections.
Do we still need primaries with ranked choice voting?
From what I understand it eliminates the need for primaries.
I love how the Washington post turns off comments every time their ratios go sour.
I like it, and I wish we used ranked choice in my home county of Arlington, VA. It's primarily D, but our board of 5 directors is almost always completely D. Other minority representation (R, L, G) do not get a seat and it's unfortunate. A composition of even 4 Ds and 1 Other would better reflect the views of the county residents.
Rank Choice Voting should be in North Carolina ☺️❤️💪😎
This confusing AF
If you can't do simple math...
I wish they had this type of voting for presidents and congress people. Instead of the runoff elections here in Georgia with racist roots.
Stop attempting to spread anti-white propaganda. We all see straight through your lies.
@@HarryManback0 yall want to be a victim so bad. It’s hilarious. White propaganda is American history.
@HF Trust just as easy as it was for you to climb the wall at the capital.
You are in luck because GA new voting law SB 202 implemented ranked choice voting for military & overseas voters, and a Republican state senator wrote this in the law to shorten runoff election & made them cost effective.
He is also the same Republican in GA state senate that is currently working on a bill to make instant run-off voting universal for every single Georgian.
I really like this. Haters gonna hate
worked for 2 us generals in my past...... one a brig. general for the salvation army, he kept them honest in il in 1973.
The 2nd favorable choice ONLY from the people who selected the least popular candidate is a terrible way to rank
Why are you comments turned off on your white racial identity video WA post?
Nice animation
This will not solve the problem of the electoral college allowing the loser to win.
There would no longer be a need for them it sounds like. Another added bonus especially when sneaky creeps try to put in Fake electors to steal an election they didn’t win.
Are yoi kidding me??
I like Rank Choice Voting because so many talented people run for office and should be given a chance for leading our government ☺️👍🇺🇲❤️
Will never work, because people are so divided between their beliefs. They are voting for somebody because they believe in what they are fighting for.
Wha...da...?
I thought Matt Gaetz was going to malfunction! 😆
*double post*
This type of system just strengthens the two major parties. They get your vote no matter who you vote for. Pretty slick.
No it doesn't. It strengthens third parties because it removes the the spoiler effect. Normally, voting third party only serves to hurt the major party you are more aligned with. For example, a conservative voter who votes Libertarian is hurting the Republicans in the election. This dissuades voters who may prefer a third party from actually voting for a third party, because they know, especially if they're in a swing state, that voting for a third party helps the opposition party.
With ranked voting, a conservative voter who prefers the Libertarians over the Republicans can still cast their vote for the Libertarians without hurting the Republicans, since they can put the Republican candidate as their 2nd choice. If/when the Libertarians get eliminated from the election, this voter's vote will go to the Republicans. Third parties can become legitimate voting options under ranked voting.
@@Klako-ls6yt In your example, it just hands over libertarian votes to a polarized Republican party. It reinforces the two party system. There's other ways to do runoffs that prevent this from happening.
@@flyer3455 It only takes Libertarian votes and gives it to Republicans when the Libertarian candidate gets eliminated; if the Libertarian candidate were to outperform the Republican candidate, the Republican candidate would get eliminated. Each round, the least voted candidate gets eliminated, and their votes get redistributed to the next preferred candidate on the ballot. This is what allows someone to vote for a third party without helping an opposition party.
@@Klako-ls6yt your rationale also assumes that people vote on a political spectrum.
@flyer. They do.
But that still doesn’t matter because even if they didn’t we would still just end up with the option the largest number of voters hate the least. In other words we wouldn’t have extremists winning elections. You might hate that but extremists always do. It will be better for our democracy in the long run to have people win elections that have the least amount of voters hating their guts
Stupid system.
