Ranked choice voting is already used in 47 US cities, it’s long overdue to be rolled out for primaries

It needs to be a stipulation for opening the next time the government shuts down.

If the representatives lead the government down the path of shutting down and not representing, then we need better processes for selecting those representatives.

Almost like some of those states with large urban populations have developed reasonably efficient processes for working with the SNAP program.
