The Oregon Legislature on Sunday's final day of the session passed House Bill 2004, which puts a proposal to move to ranked choice voting for federal and statewide races on the statewide ballot in November 2024.
OP didn’t say anything about third party candidates? You make some good points but not really related to what OP said.
They said the changes are more likely to be adopted by democrat states before republican states. That does have a lot of potential implications, including the ones raised but supporting the change is not the same as supporting or considering all the potential implications.
Unless I’ve missed something very fundamental, RCV is not related to what electoral votes go up to the federal election unless third party candidates are involved. A ranked choice election between 2 candidates is the same as a FPTP election.
Right? I feel like I’m not the one missing something here.
democrat states
Ooooh
Okay, it makes a little more sense now why you and the parent comment might be inducing a pointless and confusing argument here, and a reason why not to do RCV, based on logic that doesn’t hold up…
IDK, tell me if I’ve missed something, but I think I just realized what’s going on.
