Audio from bystander video indicates 11 shots were fired before Wilson died from two gunshot wounds, while the department’s posted policy sharply restricts shooting at moving vehicles.

Glad to help! And yeah it’s less intuitive than rcv as a solution and it’s relatively new (like a decade old), but it’s designed to resolve a lot of the issues that have arisen with both rcv and single choice voting.
The only real drawback imo is that it’ll confuse people until they get used to it, but we can account for that with instructional information and people to explain at polling places early on. And even if they are confused, they’re unlikely to cast an invalid ballot like people who are confused by rcv do.
Imo it’s: star - 5, rcv - 4, jungle primaries - 2, single choice - 1
I also think just spreading the word about it is a great way to help convince people it might be worth a go. Hopefully Oregon will adopt it soon
Yes! Spreading the word about different options is key, if folks don’t know options exist, they can’t learn about and advocate for them! Haha that was partly why I commented in the first place, and super grateful for your comment!
And yea, you’re right there’d def be a bit of a learning curve, but I agree all we have to do is be mindful of that and meet folks where they are, and provide lots of avenues/formats for them to get the info. Even with our current system folks struggle to know what’s on their ballot, etc. so could be an amazing opportunity to empower voters with that sort of info, too! And then we give them democracy sausages when they show up to vote! Haha.
