This is it… our last virtual election for POTUS 2024! The What If RCV community has spoken, and we wish we had at least a few different candidates added into the mix. How would you vote if you had different candidates to choose from? Or if you had the same candidates but the chance to vote via RCV, STAR, or Approval voting? Go to our website and join the virtual presidential election for your state.

Voting advice from the Equal Vote Coalition: Vote NO on 117 - We Can do Better! - https://mailchi.mp/equal.vote/why-were-voting-no-on-ranked-choice-and-measure-117

Why I'll be voting no on RCV Measure 117:
Our concerns with RCV are that it has been systematically oversold and that it doesn’t accomplish the things its advocates claim. For example, it doesn’t guarantee majority preferred winners and it doesn’t actually eliminate the spoiler effect, as we saw in Alaska, which is now moving to repeal the system.
RCV also introduces serious new issues that we believe are deal breakers:

1. Rolls back Oregon’s current election integrity protections against election fraud and requires the full centralization of ballots.
2. Increases rates of voter error dramatically, especially among our most vulnerable populations. Voters who rank candidates equally can void their ballot, even if that was their honest vote.
3. Violates Oregon’s constitutional equal protections clause and one person, one vote. Some voters whose favorite is eliminated will have their 2nd choices counted while others will have their 2nd choice ignored, even if it could have made a difference. That's fundamentally unfair and unequal.

RCV can eliminate the candidate who was preferred over all others right off the top. RCV has been banned in 10 states and repealed in many more for these reasons and more. There are better reforms out there that actually solve these problems without sacrificing our election integrity in the process.

There is no need to ram through a reform that’s been proven to fail. It's not a stepping stone and it's not better than the current system.
