U.S. Army veteran Zaneta Adams writes in Michigan Advance, " will not fix everything about our politics. But it is a simple, tested, common-sense reform that gives more choice and more voice to voters and makes our elections more representative, our candidates more accountable to the whole electorate, and our democracy a little more worthy of the sacrifices so many Americans, in and out of uniform, have made for it. That is why I support it. That is why I hope you will too." https://buff.ly/SwhpqFv

Tens of thousands of Wisconsin Democrats have "spoiled" their ballots in the single-choice voting primary for governor because three candidates have dropped out and a fourth candidate has reentered the race since voting began in the Badger State.

Tens of thousands of Wisconsin voters are at risk of having no say in the Democratic primary for governor on August 11.

"I know what it looks and feels like when people closest to a problem are told by people far away that they don’t have the choice, voice or power to lead in fixing it," writes Dr. Karen Weaver, the former Mayor of Flint. "So, when I see the Michigan Legislature holding up the implementation of local election reforms that voters have already approved at the ballot box, I recognize the pattern immediately."

Our current voting system forces people to either step aside or risk handing elections to candidates that most voters don’t want. The way we vote punishes anyone who doesn't want to be blamed for ‘splitting the vote.’

The evidence keeps piling up: One more set of data showing that Ranked Choice Voting gives voters more voice and more choice.

In Washington, DC’s first Ranked Choice Voting primary, most voters chose to rank multiple candidates. Depending on the race, between 62% and 80% of voters ranked at least two choices. Voters supporting less-established candidates were especially likely to include backup choices, allowing them to support their favorite without giving up their voice if that candidate was eliminated.

The rankings also revealed more about the electorate than a traditional choose-one ballot could—showing not only who voters preferred first, but which candidates had broader consensus support.

This isn’t just how Ranked Choice Voting is supposed to work. It is how voters are actually using it.

More voice. More choice. Better representation.

As more candidates leave the race before the primary, early voters may be left wondering whether their vote will still matter.

With Ranked Choice Voting, voters could rank backup choices from the start. If their first-choice candidate withdrew or was eliminated, their vote could count for their next choice.

RCV would also reduce pressure on candidates to drop out over fears of splitting the vote or becoming a “spoiler.” Candidates could stay in the race, and voters could decide.

More voice. More choice.

Michigan voters must act fast if they want to spoil their ballots. Clerks must receive the request by Friday.
