> a third-party candidate doesn't spoil an election

that's enough of an improvement for me



Agreed. Let’s not allow perfect to be the enemy of the better.

After not making any significant changes to voting in over 200 years (besides expanding it to more people, thank goodness) in the USA, taking one step towards a better future is gigantic. Once we take that first step, future steps will be easier (even if they’ll still be difficult at first).

I can’t wait for RCV, any flavor, to come to more cities and states.

P.S. if you’re in Massachusetts and feel strongly about ranked choice voting, come join me helping out https://voterchoice2020.org/
