John - "Ranked choice" voting is a popular tool in the push to make the voting process more democratic and enable citizens to have a greater voice when they go to the polls.
If you’ve never heard of it, the explanation is simple: the voter gets to rank the candidates in the order they prefer them, instead of just picking one. This helps empower a diverse slate of candidates and also acknowledges that, if your first choice didn’t win, you’d certainly prefer a second candidate who more closely resembles your beliefs rather than having the other main party win by default.
Some in Congress, however, were upset after the last election in Alaska: "Ranked choice voting, I think, is unconstitutional", said Rep. Tom Emmer, the head of the National Republican Congressional Committee.
