“Each week, readers across the country send our Why Not? project hundreds of ideas for improving American life. The suggestions span many topics, but at the top of the list is a proposal for remaking how Americans vote: ranked-choice voting. Under such a system, voters don’t just choose one candidate for an office. They list the candidates from their first choice to their least favorite (hence the ‘ranking’). Why Not? readers and other fans of ranked choice say this approach has two key virtues. It more accurately reflects voter’s true preferences. And it incentivizes candidates to appeal to broader swath of the electorate.” (10/22/24)
