Earning the Vote

[Pat Mustard]

What we need is not a further bar to voting, but a change in how we vote. Mandatory, ranked choice voting would be a far better system than the two-party, first past the goalpost, bullshit system we have now.

And for fuck's sake, eliminate (or side-step via the interstate compact) the electoral college.

One problem with ranked choice voting is that it takes too long to explain to voters when you're canvassing.  You don't have an extra 10 minutes every third voter.

STV works very well over here. And it makes for great drama during the count.
