Ranked choice voting would allow citizens to vote for candidates they think will best represent them, the Voter, without feeling like they have "wasted a vote." This could empower thousands of voters who would otherwise be left out of our Democratic process.

Example of Ranked Choice: My first choice is Julian Castro, but he has dropped out. I put him as my first choice because I still like him. My second choice is Andrew Yang, he still has a chance of winning the primary. My third choice is my dog Fluffy because I love him.

When counting votes, Julian Castro doesn't get enough votes to win, so my second choice is counted instead. If Andrew Yang wins enough votes my third choice, Fluffy, is discarded. If Yang did not win enough votes, my third choice would be counted next. This can go on for as many choices as are allowed, though 3 makes the most sense in most situations.

Please consider contacting your State Level Legislators to ask them about supporting Ranked Choice Voting as your State's preferred method of voting. Find your reps at: (https://www.commoncause.org/find-your-representative/
