Even easier than ranked choice voting is approval voting, which is what we use in my city in the Midwest (for statewide elections, we’re still stuck with party primaries). But in my city, in the primary, all candidates are listed on the same ballot. You can vote for as many candidates as you like. If you like them all, you can vote for them all. If you like one, vote for one. Or any number of candidates in between. Then the top two candidates face off in the general election. In the first two election cycles since we implemented approval voting, we were able to break the stranglehold old-school Dems have had in the city since 1949. So, now we’ll see what the Progressives can do. (Republicans will never win in this city).
