Minnesota’s group is approaching this a smart way, from the local up. They’re not spending much time in the high-profile positions; they’re tackling local elections. Gets people used to the idea, and they stack higher and higher positions as they’re going. It’ll take time, but starting at the top and working down is a lot harder.
Same, local approach. There’s a specific local city we’re targeting the city council etc as well as spreading awareness to the locals that this is even an option. Your average person doesn’t know it exists!
Except where it’s been implemented. We have had several successes at the local level in Minnesota; we’re a long way from the governor, but it’s always moving forward, with a win every year and - so far - no screw-ups causing a regression.
Totally irrelevant for this presidential election. Also I’d argue for presidential elections the electoral college needs to go first. The increasing number of presidents being elected with a minority vote is seriously concerning.
Get involved with your local Ranked Choice Voting group.
The one for California is https://www.calrcv.org/
I know this won’t fix everything but I also think it’s a good idea. First past the post contributes to problems we have now. Check it out people!

Minnesota’s.

Is this how CA is approaching it?

Commenting in support!
Is there one for every state? Better question: is there a page that I can link to literally everyone that lists every such group by state?
Thank you for this!
I like rank choice voting, but why would someone put Biden as there 3rd or 4th choice when they’re with holding their vote over moral objections?
Voting for Biden in any order would be the same as voting for Biden in a first past the post election.
