Instant Runoff Voting
Wouldn’t you like to vote FOR someone for a change, instead of picking the lesser of two evils?
One thing we can do to open up the political process is enact Instant Runoff Voting.
It works like this:
When you go to the voting booth, you rank your candidates in the order of preference, 1, 2, and 3.
That’s it!
When
tallying the vote, if no one has a majority or 51%, the person in last
place is scratched from the ballot, and if that happened to be your #1
choice, your vote shifts to your #2 selection.
Then the votes are tallied again and the process repeats until someone has won a majority.
This
would completely eliminate the FEAR component of voting for one person
so someone else doesn’t get elected. The whole ‘Wasting Your
Vote’ or ‘They Can’t Win" argument goes away.
