Happy RCV Day (1/23)!
Ranked choice voting is a simple upgrade to the way we vote that gives voters more choices and more power at the ballot box. By allowing voters to rank their candidates in order of preference, RCV mitigates the so-called "spoiler effect" and allows voters to vote for their true preferences without fear of "wasting" their vote.

Our neighbors to the East have declared that fair elections are a bipartisan, American interest. Together, we can pursue common-sense policy that puts consent of the governed above political gamesmanship.

With as many as 18 candidates in the Democratic primary for IL-09, it is clear that Illinois desperately needs ranked choice voting for its primary elections. This race could theoretically be won by a candidate with as little as 5.56% of the vote due to vote splitting. RCV would require the winning candidate to have a true majority of >50%, all while mitigating the problems of "spoilers" and "vote splitting."

Ranked choice voting would move us beyond just having two choices when we go to vote. In order to have consent of the governed, people must be able to have real choice in who their leaders are.

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]

#RankedChoiceVoting would save Chicago millions of 💸 by eliminating the need for runoff elections. The 2023 Mayoral runoff cost ~$20M, and $10s of Ms more in campaign costs. Comment below: What would be a better use of that $$$? 🤔
