Hello Jow Forums, Mainefag here. Our primaries are tomorrow, and we are using this weird as fuck ranked choice voting system for the first time. Barely anybody over the age of 25 knows how to use it, I am afraid they will say it was a success and use it in November elections, taking away the boomer vote. What do you niggers think of ranked choice

Isn't against our state constitution? But yes, the chance of Portland retards ruining everything like usual is high.

whats wrong with it? I don't really understand it beyond instead of voting for just 1 person, you put them in order. Seems pretty fucking simple to me, beyond the fact that I don't want to research a bunch of faggots to know how to put them in order.
What happens if you just select 1 person?
Luke Wilson
I think for a valid ballot in ranked choice you have to pick a different candidate for each rank. It kind of forces people to research all the candidates.
Obviously first past the post pisses off everybody who doesn't vote for the front runner (which is almost always the majority of voters).
However ranked choice has a way of upsetting the initial front-runner.
Like in the Conservative Party leadership race in Canada. Maxmeme Bernier was out in front until the last round of counting, but ultimately the cuckservative vote pushed Scheer ahead in the end.

These are the questions I hear people talking of on a daily basis working construction, and everyone is too lazy to learn or understand so they are just abstaining.

Really?
Eli James
dude liberals changing the voting system probably means theyre going to change how votes are counted so that they win no matter what

Many rural old folks here grew up in a 1 room shack and dropped out in 8th grade, the whole state isn't Lewiston and portand

Its about progressives being able to control and win elections.

Why are there fucking muslims in Maine?
Carter Scott
Obama dispersed the refugees into the whitest parts of the country that would accept them. Same with Minnesota.

Ranked Choice Voting is probably the most democratic style of voting, it ensures that whoever has the most support behind them among the public wins, even if it's not all primary support
Easton James
if you want to vote for one person, just put a 1 next to your choice
if that person doesn't win, your vote just gets discarded
>I don't want to research a bunch of faggots to know how to put them in order
you can just rank the people you know about and leave the rest blank, if all those people lose then your vote is just discarded if you don't have anyone else ordered
Bentley Gonzalez
>you have to pick a different candidate for each rank
nope, you can just leave it blank
then your vote is used for the people you voted for and if they don't get enough votes eventually your vote just is discarded
