Absolutely! Our methods are simple and time-tested: organize and educate regular voters so they can spread the word and take effective actions to achieve this common sense improvement to our elections.

To do this we offer these valuable resources:

1. A proven playbook of strategies, tactics, and priorities to ensure success

2. Coaching and consultation

3. Pathways to funding

Experience has shown that this basic assistance we provide can enable a small but dedicated group to rapidly grow into a powerful statewide wave of change demanding to Rank the Vote.

Our current “pick-one” plurality election system:

• Punishes voters with “wasting their vote” if they choose their actual favorite and don’t use their ballot to support a “front-runner” candidate or one from the two major parties.

• Let’s unpopular politicians win by allowing candidates to be elected even when the majority of voters oppose them.

• Makes elections toxic by incentivizing candidates to beat down their opponents and exaggerate differences, missing opportunities to reinforce areas of agreement that unify the electorate and create consensus for getting important things done after the election.

• Is fragile and vulnerable to manipulation and broken, inaccurate outcomes as soon as more than two candidates run. This is because of “vote splitting” and the “spoiler effect”. Two or more candidates or parties running on similar platforms penalize each other and divide their shared base of supporters, rather than reinforcing their mutual efforts.

• Limits participation by discouraging new candidates from running and new parties from forming.

The results are catastrophic:

• Denial of choice to voters, breeding disinterest and cynicism.

• Poisoning of political culture and magnification of partisan division.

• Gridlock around big problems rather than common purpose taking action.

• Erosion of competition, innovation, and problem solving in elections and government.

• Government of the powerful, not of the people.

Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) is the reform that is rescuing America. RCV offers transformative benefits:

• Every vote counts and you can always vote for your favorite knowing your vote will never be wasted.

• Fresh candidates can run without fear of being treated like a “spoiler”.

• New parties can form and share their unique and valuable perspectives without fear of undermining their own goals by splitting votes and diluting electoral power with the most similar major party.

• Strong independents can participate holding their heads high without dealing with unfair accusations of interference or irrelevance.

• Problem solving orientation where everyone running has a real reason to emphasize areas of common agreement as well as what makes them the best choice. Candidates tend to focus on issues and treat rivals with more respect.

• The will of the people prevails because the majority of voters always determines the winner from a full and robust set of choices.

Ballots are counted in “instant runoff rounds” — see this video explainer — where contestants receiving the fewest top-choices are eliminated and their supporters’ ballots are then counted toward the next choice indicated on each.

This process “consolidates” the voting power of like-minded voters, no matter how many candidates are running, rather than seeing the strength of their votes diluted and divided between multiple similar candidates.

Here’s the part that solves the “spoiler candidate” problem:

These rounds repeat until one candidate has the support of more than half of the voters. Because winning requires a broad majority of support, candidates need to earn their opponents’ supporters 2nd and 3rd choice votes on the ballot.

Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) is a simple but powerful solution that gives people a stronger voice and more choice when they vote.
