Some Republicans are accusing Libertarian Tom Pruss of “spoiling” the close race in Ohio’s 9th District. But there’s a simple solution: #InstantRunoffs with #RankedChoiceVoting would allow Ohioans to vote their conscience without fear of spoilers. rtvo.org/action

I got to hang out with former Georgia State Rep Scot Turner at #RepresentUs’ #ADS2025 and thanked him for testifying against Ohio’s #RankedChoiceVoting Ban Bill. It’s good that some #Ohio cities use runoffs to uphold majority rule, but we’d all be better off with #RCV #InstantRunoffs!

Maine was the first state to use #RankedChoiceVoting statewide. Maine has used #RCV for #InstantRunoffs in every statewide election since 2018, and had the highest turnout of any state in 2022. Other states (and cities) can learn from Maine.

Democrats should be using #RankedChoiceVoting so they can uphold majority rule with #InstantRunoffs to nominate stronger candidates with more civil campaigns!
Yesterday’s Dem primary for Lt. Gov. of Virginia was won w/ just 27% of the vote – and 2 other candidates finished within 1 point.

#RankedChoiceVoting doesn’t benefit one party more than another — but it could benefit whichever party adopts it first! That’s why #InstantRunoffs have a long track record of bipartisan support from mavericks on both sides 💪🏻🇺🇸

Questions were raised at yesterday's hearing about "exhausted ballots" – what happens if voters choose to not rank more than one candidate? It's just like choosing to not vote in a traditional runoff. #InstantRunoffs with #RCV are better to uphold majority rule!

This report shows that exhausted ballots arise in nearly every election method, but IRV results in fewer ballots becoming inactive.
