electionlineWeekly on Ranked Choice Voting in Maine and New Mexico
The latest electionlineWeekly has a story about Maine’s maiden statewide voyage with ranked choice voting as well as a look at its growing popularity in New Mexico – and its future in other communities across the country. Maine’s experience – which appears to have been successful despite near-constant litigation and a legislature seemingly hellbent on blocking its implementation – could be a signal to other states and communities that ranked choice voting can work there as well, if there is sufficient planning (and budget!) and even a modicum of support from policymakers.
