Not even just ranked choice. It’s all alternative voting systems that aren’t just first past the post… 😮‍💨

To be fair, mosquitoes are the most dangerous animal to humans because of disease spread. It’s not just annoying, itchy bites.

There’s not a great 1:1 replacement. I’d suggest some sort of hybrid approach. Personally, I use mumble for voip and matrix for text. I haven’t experienced any significant stability issues with matrix, but self-hosting probably plays in my favor there.

Isn’t prime caffeinated? That’s dehydrating and not at all helpful to people who need water…

The only current think close to ranked choice voting in the state that I’m aware of is in St. Louis City where a few positions are elected based on a double run off where the top two candidates of the first election have a subsequent run off.

I read an article a little bit back where the politician championing it was quoted saying “it’s too confusing” and that is the primary reason it needs to be banned in the state constitution. So that’s the kind of people trying to push this through.

What I believe they really want is to clamp down on any chance of local municipalities trying to use an alternative voting system to first past the post. Those in power would be threatened by people having more choice.

I was just wondering how a card game had an opinion at all 😅
