"With Ranked Choice Voting in NYC, Women Win"
Before 2021, New York’s 51-member council had always been majority male. Women hadn’t even gotten close to a majority. The best showing had been 18 seats, just a tick above 35 percent.
That all changed with ranked choice voting (RCV). In 2021, voters elected not only a women-majority council but nearly doubled the previous high, with 31 seats.

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/

In vector cartography, the map is only as good as the data that powers it. If we don’t understand what’s going on in the underlying data, we’re pretty limited in our cartographic approach. A major part of this work involves parsing vector tile data, determining how one dataset compares to another, and diagnosing bugs encountered...
