Some New York Democrats are upset that Andrew Cuomo’s campaign is not an ordination and that Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) has done exactly what it is supposed to do — create intense competition for appealing to voters, and doing it despite massive funding gaps.
So unsatisfied with each other are the rival Democratic Party factions that there is wide speculation they will take their cases to the general election, featuring a four-way showdown between incumbent Mayor Adams, former Governor Mayor Andrew Cuomo, State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani — all Dems or former Dems running on different labels — and the Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa.
This might be great, except that this four-way contest will be decided with plurality rules — no ranked choice voting, no runoff, no guaranteed majority winner — so there could be a new mayor selected by receiving only a bit more than 25% of the vote.
The intensity of the rivalry between the Democratic Party groupings goes beyond “working out the shared platform”, and points to a larger need — the ability to operate as separate, viable political parties.
This — and the dangers of the plurality general — are exactly why New York City needs to build on the successes and voter satisfaction with RCV in the primary, and now extend it to the general election as well.
Then within parties, smaller differences can be negotiated and settled with less threateningly existential stakes in the primaries, while ALL voters get a variety of clear, distinct, and cohesive party and candidate choices in the general election.
#DYK? Boston City Council passed a measure approving #RCV!
“This victory didn’t happen overnight. It’s the result of years of organizing, coalition-building, and people believing that a more inclusive and representative democracy is possible.”
Here's how core themes from Victor Hugo's Les Misérables translate into modern electoral reform (like #RankedChoiceVoting):
💪 Solidarity and coalition building 📈 The power of incremental progress 📣 Giving voice to the voiceless
#RCV widens the path from ballot to power, lets every ranking speak, and asks candidates to appeal to our better angels rather than weaponize division. In short, it’s a 21st-century way to move “from misery to dignity” in the civic sphere. Read more: … See MoreSee Less
