🎁 <- Your present this year: The #RankedChoiceVotingAct has been reintroduced in the US Congress! The #RCVAct would require all elections for Congress to be done using ranked choice voting. Visit TinyURL.com/RCVAct2026 or click the 🔗 in bio to contact your reps!
With RCV, voters would have more choice and more power at the ballot box, and our elections would be far more meaningful and competitive.

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.
