Listening to #NPR while I do some indoor work (raining today).

Sounds like the US is headed to municipal elections everywhere shortly. Two interesting points:

#Mamdani is poised to win the NYC mayorship. (Yay!) and…

#Minneapolis is using #RankedBallot voting. Glad to see that (slowly) moving forward! Maybe some other US cities too?

My strong belief is that ranked ballot is perhaps the only thing that'll save democracy from creeping authoritarianism and associated electoral manipulation.

@ottaross I believe that to be true as the Tories TOOK AWAY ranked choice voting in London (not that it did them any good)

@Lazarou Ugh. Invariably political parties on the right use it themselves internally, but don't want to let the public use it in general elections.
