Ranked Choice Voting for Colorado

Want to hold our government accountable? We need more choice on Election Day. Here is the petition link: tinyurl.com/RCV4COpetition Ranked Choice elections are proven to eliminate “spoilered” elections. Share. Share. Share. 🔥

@rossbsherman @nytopinion We’d be better off without primaries. They put more money into politics and keep grassroots candidates off of the ballot

Why are so many Democratic (and Republican) politicians so out of touch with the general public? Because the general public doesn't elect them. Primary voters do. Great description of the #PrimaryProblem @nytopinion nytimes.com/2026/03/24/opi…

@ValisJason Top-four limits ballot-access to the four top-funded candidates and eliminates the party’s power to hold electeds accountable to the party platform. That is what has happened in Alaska. Things get very awkward for us when we point out the facts. They know it’s garbage but 🤑

For a counter-argument, simply look at what is happening with the Top Two system in the California governor’s race. Please stop thinking that weakening political parties is the answer to “extremism.”

@AZGreenParty @jonralstonlmt @AZGOP A similar measure got passed in Colorado. The ads featured Senator Hickenlooper talking about ‘frivolous’ ballots measures, scolding the voters to ‘raise the bar Colorado’ Hopefully this anti democracy measure won’t pass in AZ

Check out the new Arizona Green Party Substack and our first article about Arizona HCR 2025, an anti-democracy initiative that the @AZGOP legislature is looking to put on the ballot that would require 60% approval for citizen's ballot initiatives. substack.com/home/post/p-19…

@christiangrose @lordsutch The #10 candidate is having to sue the CA-SoS for ballot access. Was the work of @christiangrose being used to determine access to the delegates debate?

I am heartened by the large number of academics who have supported my academic integrity from across California and the United States. Leading scholars issued this statement below. 1/5

Here's what winner-take-all elections give us: safe districts where millions of voices don't matter. Here's what #ProportionalRepresentation gives us: every community gets representation. It's not rocket science—it's just fair.

How do we break out of the American doom loop? Northern Ireland did it. @georgekcheung & @equitabledemo got the details. The film premier is streaming on St. Patrick’s Day (Tues 3/17) eventbrite.com/e/double-featu…

@RankTheVoteOhio Next Governor, please

We at Rank The Vote Ohio are deeply disappointed that Governor DeWine signed SB63 into law today. SB63 prohibits municipalities from implementing Ranked Choice Voting and allows the state to withhold all funding from municipalities that choose to exercise their local authority.

Non-citizen voting is so rare that it does not affect outcomes. According to the Conservative Heritage Foundation, in each election cycle about 1-4 non-citizens vote in the *entire* nation.

Voter suppression (SAVE/MEGA) would be worse in Colorado because all (4.61m+) voters will have to re-register. Roughly 2m voters will have to pay a poll tax to get the required ID. Cost is varies from $20 to $185 and can take up to 6 weeks. #democracy democracy.io/#!/

@ProRepCoalition @Moderate_Party_ Proud to be part of it

Pardon our language, but seriously... this political system is totally f*cked, and it's time we unf*ck it. #ProportionalRepresentation #EndTheDuopoly #EndGerrymandering #EndPolarization

A proposed a ballot measure to gerrymander Colorado to favor the democrats. We could eliminate gerrymandering all together with proportional representation. #ProportionalRepresentation #pRCV

Year after year, most voters have to guess the two front-runners and vote for one of them to avoid “wasting” their vote. With RCV, they could simply rank who they love, who they like, and who they can live with to be included in finding the consensus of a majority.

@Moderate_Party_ @USTermLimits The U.S. needs term limits- but not too short. Colorado’s limits are two terms, which is four years. This limits institutional memory

Term Limits would give politicians a great sense of urgency, leading to Congress passing a lot more common sense bills. @USTermLimits

Proportional representation builds fairness into the system of self-rule Pick-one, winner-take-all has been the go-to policy for segregationists

The Make Elections Great Again (MEGA) act will nationalize elections (in violation of the 10th Amendment) to force the purge of voter rolls every 30 days. At least 21 million people will be disenfranchised this November if it passes. Colorado’s full delegation should oppose it

The United States shows what happens when first-past-the-post locks politics into two-party trench warfare. Small vote shifts create total control. That is not stability. Proportional representation reduces all or nothing outcomes and reflects voters more accurately.

@betterballotsc Getting an RCV ballot is a great thing because it prevents vote-splitting. The top-4 primaries put candidates with the most money in the general election. The parties themselves will be denied ballot access, which hurts democracy. Why not go after RCV and no primaries?
