The Daily Mining Gazette published an informative piece on Rank MI Vote’s work today. They highlighted the enthusiasm we hear when we speak to voters and the importance of majority winners. Rank MI Vote’s Director of communications Alex Yerkey was quoted:
“Right now, voters are punished when they’re given more choice in an election,” Yerkey continued. “Adding a third candidate means the worst possible candidate can win with just 34% of the vote. Giving voters the ability to express their preferences for candidates through ranking ensures more than half of voters support the winning candidate. Michigan frequently elects candidates in big races despite the majority of voters pulling the lever for someone else. Ranked Choice Voting provides a better and more representative way to elect our leaders.”
