red States, however, the opposite could very well be true. Only Alaska and Maine have RCV right now. It has helped moderate Dems in those two States — which are red/purple.

I’m in Oregon, and on the fence about the ranked/choice measure — it applies only to the nomination and election of federal and Oregon statewide offices. Not sure it actually would help progressives here since ranked choice won’t apply to election of State Legislative offices. If it did, it could help moderate Dems a bit in some Oregon Districts. At same time, Rs here do oppose it.

Gonna sleep on it a day or two. Othereide my ballot is ready to drop off.

Anyone got any convincing arguments that might help me?
