A big article in the #CascadiaDaily about the recent Whatcom County charter review meeting about #RankedChoiceVoting. It was really a fascinating meeting with four invited guests who are #RCV experts from around the country. Well worth watching the video of the meeting (linked at the end of the article) https://www.cascadiadaily.com/2025/may/14/ranked-choice-voting-considered-in-whatcom-but-it-would-cost-auditor-says/

I am amazed that this even happened. When I was in local politics many years ago this seemed like a such a fringe thing. Candidates would say that they were open to it but nothing would come of it.

I am really impressed with everyone that made this happen and I hope that it finally becomes a reality
