The Majority Rules website reads:

WHAT IF CHANGING THE WAY WE VOTE COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING?

With America’s democratic experiment mired in division and dysfunction, the state of Alaska votes to revolutionize their election system. The surprising results spark new alliances, a growing call for election reform, and fierce pushback from political parties. Could challenging how Americans vote also change politics for the better?

The LWBN and the Partnership for the Public Good (PPG) share PPG’s community agenda:

• The City of Buffalo should adopt a ranked choice voting (RCV) system. Currently, voters in Buffalo can only pick one candidate to vote for in primary and general elections. Sometimes, voters who don’t want their vote to be “wasted” will select a candidate based on strategy of who has the best shot of winning, rather than the candidate who aligns most with their values. Instead, RCV allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference, which encourages productive political discourse, and requires candidates to win genuine policy support from voters. RCV encourages a more diverse range of candidates to run in elections and engages communities of color more fully in the voting process. It is more critical than ever to increase voter participation and genuinely democratic elections.
