For those wondering why they call #RankedChoiceVoting an "instant run-off" if it is going to take #Maine a full week to tell us who won...

MANY #Maine districts use paper ballots. They have to be hand transferred to the central counting center and validated & scanned before the Round 2 & Round 3 (if necessary) tabulations can be conducted. This is a safety measure to prevent manipulation of the tabulation process when using paper ballots. #uspol #uspolitics #elections

@juliehuz #Maine also has #RankedChoiceVoting in general elections. Why is there no talk of #Mills getting on that ballot? She could offer an alternative without being a spoiler. Has her silence these past few weeks, rather than endorsing #Platner, been so she could do just that? Do you know what it would take for her to get on the ballot?

Ranked choice voting is working in Maine. It can work everywhere else too - Salon.com

Maine voters offer real hope for democracy — and it's got nothing to do with Graham Platner

Completely ridiculous. They are cheating. Just like #FascistRepublicans they are gaming the system in their favour and right wing #msm are simply sane washing it all for them.

Crazy, undemocratic times we are living through…

@QueenOfTheCroneAge

The fact that Republicans think ranked choice is a threat to their power, is a really strong endorsement of #RankedchoiceVoting. Maybe the strongest one.

It was already near impossible to get fair access to primaries. Now both parties are changing to closed #primaries.
This is why I joined DSA (Democratic #Socialists of Amer), because we run on the Dem ticket.
There's no way in my lifetime the two party system will give up its control - we need #RankedChoiceVoting to make #Congress look more like #Parliament.
Exhaustive article, repeats #poll results saying ~76% of us prefer #compromise over #gridlock.
