The WI Supreme Court ruled that the Green Party presidential ticket will not be on the ballot. Good for D& #39;s, Bad for R& #39;s who hoped to siphon votes away from Biden. We live in a world where minor parties are just seen as pawns for the two party duopoly. (1/4)
The real loser in this system is voters, many of whom are tired of both options and long for more choices that are not seen as spoilers or wasted protest votes. Voters want to voice their true preference for a third option without that vote helping to elect someone they dislike.
One solution is ranked-choice voting. Give voters the ability to vote for who they really want and have a backup if that candidate is not viable. It takes the spoiler problem off the table so that minor parties are seen as real options, not just pawns that help or hurt D& #39;s/R& #39;s.
If you live in MA or AK, you have the power this November to change the system. Ranked-choice voting is on the ballot in your state. Vote Yes on 2 in MA and Yes on 2 in AK and follow @yeson2rcv and @Alaskans4ABE. #RCV
