Voters, please do your research on nonprofit FairVote Washington that’s pushing ranked-choice voting. Branches all over the country are pushing this in cities and counties. Your votes are redistributed after Election Day behind the scenes and in some cases, manually. That does not instill confidence in our election system. The organizer of the local group was a fellow on Obama’s campaign. A co-founder is policy director at More Equitable Democracy, an intermediary that works at the intersection of racial equity and structural democracy reform. Nonpartisan issue? I think not.
