Why should parties use RCV in primaries? It drives party unity. Under the current system, the winning candidate could win with <50% of the vote when many candidates are running, which leaves many party members disappointed and unenthused with their presidential candidate. RCV requires the winner to have true majority support (>50%), so the winner is a true consensus choice that more voters in the party can actually be excited about.

#Illinois Gov #JBPritzker says he’s worried how #Trump might respond to the growing controversy over his ties to #Epstein.
“My great fear, of course, is that with the release of that information, which I think will be devastating for Trump, he’s going to do everything in his power to distract. What does that mean? I mean, he might take us to #war with #Venezuela just to get a distraction in the news & take it out of the headlines.”
[we’re all worried about that JB]

We also saw some ghost pipes while out hiking in the forest. These were all under 6" in height. They were growing in small bunches of twos, three and a smattering of fours in various stages of development.

Golden oyster mushrooms growing in the forest. My spouse refused to let me pick them to eat. These were already starting to whiten with age anyway and I have finally come to possess the wisdom not to argue with her over mushrooms. We aren't hobbits after all.
