WHEREAS First-Past-The-Post voting is responsible for a variety of electoral ills, such as producing winners who do not actually have majority support, and forcing voters to cast ballots strategically instead of supporting the candidate they actually prefer the most, and
WHEREAS We all know how First-Past-The-Post voting is working out for our giant friendly neighbor this election cycle, and
WHEREAS Ranked Choice Voting (aka Instant Runoff Voting or Alternative Voting) is far superior to First-Past-The-Post and eliminates all of the aforementioned ills, because it allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference, and
WHEREAS This video is an brilliant explanation of why Ranked Choice Voting is so good
